Emergency Response Model as a part of the Smart Society

Abstract

Centralized hybrid emergency model with predictive emergency response functions are necessary when the purpose is to protect the critical infrastructure (CI). A shared common operational picture among Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) authorities means that a real-time communication link from the local level to the state-level exists. If a cyberattack would interrupt electricity transmission, telecommunication networks will discontinue operating. Cyberattack becomes physical in the urban and maritime area if an intrusion has not been detected. Hybrid threats require hybrid responses. The purpose of this qualitative research was to find out technological-related fundamental risks and challenges which are outside the official risk classification. The primary outcomes can be summarized so that there are crucial human based factors that affect the whole cyber-ecosystem. Cybersecurity maturity, operational preparedness, and decision making reliability are not separate parts of continuity management. If fundamental risk factors are not recognized, technical early warning solutions become useless. Therefore, decision-makers need reliable information for decision-making that does not expose them to hazards. One of the primary aims of hybrid influence is to change political decision-making. Practically, this means a need to rationalize organizational, administrative, and operative functions in public safety organizations. Trusted information sharing among decision-makers, intelligence authorities, and data protection authorities must be ensured by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. In advanced design, protection of critical infrastructure would be ensured automatically as part of the cyber platform's functionalities where human-made decisions are also analyzed. Confidential information sharing to third parties becomes complicated when the weaknesses of crucial decision-making procedures have recognized. Citizens' confidence in the intelligent system activities may strengthen because of the decision making process's reliability. Existing emergency response services are dependent on human ability.
