Our Mission:

The Self-secure and robust Critical Information Technology Infrastructure project (S-CITI for short) aims at providing support to Emergency Managers (EMs) that are faced with management of resources and with decisions before, during, and after emergencies or disasters.

Our Approach:

We will use new and existing sensors to gather data from the field, process this data to detect and predict emergency/disaster situations, and disseminate this data among the appropriate organizational units. The data flow will be done in a reliable and secure manner and EMs will coordinate actions in a Virtual Coordination Center, which need not be in a fixed (and thus vulnerable) physical location. The EMs are responsible for indicating what type of data is more valuable, so that S-CITI can display that information appropriately.

Our Funding:

S-CITI is being funded through the ITR Medium Award ANI-0325353 from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
