<\/p>\nAs IPCU, we believe that the first responders and local governments should be prepared and work together in case of a disaster and emergency, such as an earthquake.<\/p>\n
In this context, after the 1999 Marmara Earthquake, a National Emergency Management Information System has been developed and extended across all of Turkey under the Marmara Earthquake Emergency Reconstruction Project (MEER). \u0130stanbul Governorship Provincial Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (Istanbul AFAD) made critical investments to the development of \u201cEmergency Management Systems\u201d.<\/p>\n
Within this framework, we immediately renewed the Ca\u011falo\u011flu Service Building of the Istanbul Governorship Provincial Disaster and Emergency Management and by improving the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) infrastructure of the building, we turned it into a \u201ccentral monitoring station\u201d. This way a healthy flow and management of information between Istanbul AFAD and other institutions have been established.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, we increased the effectiveness of the analog wide area radio infrastructure with optimization and coverage area expansion projects.<\/p>\n
We built the Hasdal Command Control and Coordination Center in European side with a total closed area of 7500 square meters and 550 staff desk capacity, and Akf\u0131rat Command Control and Coordination Center in Anatolian side with 17,350 square meters of total closed area that includes 8,100 square meters of storage area to work uninterruptedly during a disaster or emergency. We also equipped these buildings to be fully integrated with Ca\u011falo\u011flu Service Building.<\/p>\n
New command centers are in easily accessible locations via different transportation alternatives, and they also have heliports to allow air transportation.<\/p>\n
The command centers that are projected as backups for each other are designed to carry out the disaster management both jointly and separately.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All of the ICT systems in Akf\u0131rat and Hasdal Control and Coordination Centers are offering their real time, seamless, failsafe and fully integrated infrastructure to the service of \u0130stanbul-wide public institutes under the Istanbul AFAD\u2019s coordination.<\/p>\n
Both data centers are designed in comply with business continuity rules and regulations.<\/p>\n
Besides these infrastructures, the Disaster Management Information System Software has been developed in compliance with the disaster legislation. This software will be used by all responsible public organizations during a disaster and emergency under the coordination of Istanbul AFAD and it will establish a \u201cJoint Operation View\u201d.<\/p>\n
It is replaced by \u201cAYDES\u201d which is also based on this web-based software and customized by Republic of T\u00fcrkiye Disaster and Emergency Management Authority in order to comply with up-to-date disaster legislation. The AYDES software will be the sole disaster management platform used by public institutions across all country. The expansion of AYDES software to the provinces is still continuing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
