As a member of the board for TIEMS Benelux (The International Emergency Management Society), I am co organising the 2nd "Oil, Gas and Chemicals Safety and Disaster Management Workshop", that will take place at Hotel Hilton in Antwerp, Belgium, on 25th and 26th September 2009.
Among many interesting workshops, I will have the pleasure to be a co-presenter at a discussion session on how modern technologies can be used to alert population rapidly and efficiently in case of a threat or disaster situation.
For the Netherlands, Mr Willy Steenbakkers, crisiscoordinator NCC, Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, will inform the audience on the latest developments of cell broadcast implementation in his country as a way to notify rapidly thousands by mobile phone in a given area.
For Belgium, Mr Bart Bruelemans, crisis coordinator for the City of Antwerp, will describe how his city has implemented ways to reach the population locally by voice calls in case of emergency situations.
For Luxembourg, I will myself describe how 9 Luxembourg cities (covering 33% of the population) have deployed/are deploying AlarmTILT to manage targetted procedure backed messaging towards their first response staff and the population via email, SMS and voice alerts.
