ITR: Secure CITI: A Secure Critical Information Technology Infrastructure for Disaster Management

这是一个跨学科的自我安全和强大的关键信息技术基础设施（Secure CITI，简称S-CITI）的建议，它利用预先部署的数据传感设备，并在关注领域战略性地部署新的传感器。例如，用于监控交通和收费站的摄像头可以重新定向，以报告意外事件（例如，隧道天花板上的碎片掉落或重大事故），或者重新定向，以收集附近山丘可能发生山体滑坡的信息。这些项目建议引入一个系统，以协调现有资源的使用，并以虚拟协调中心的形式在不同的组织单位之间分发收集到的数据，以促进有效和迅速协调行动，以应对自然和人为灾害。该系统将包含一个学习模块，将紧急情况后的数据输入紧急情况前决策的数据处理模块。为了执行这一项目，项目负责人将指定情景，并利用从这些情景中产生的信息使用/重新部署传感器，以收集具体数据，在应急管理人员之间建立通信，并传播适当的信息。协议将通过安全和认证的数据访问尊重不同的组织单位和数据隐私。协议还将对灾难级别、系统负载和正在共享的信息类型敏感。

This is an interdisciplinary proposal for a Self-secure and robust Critical Information Technology Infrastructure (Secure CITI, or S-CITI for short) that takes advantage of pre-deployed data-sensing equipment and strategically deploys new sensors in areas of concern. For example, cameras that are used to monitor traffic and toll booths could be redirected to report on unexpected events (e.g., pieces falling from a tunnel ceiling or a major crash) or re-oriented to collect information about a potential landslide in a nearby hill. The PIs propose to introduce a system to coordinate the use of existing resources and distribute the data gathered among different organizational units in the form of a Virtual Coordination Center to facilitate efficient and quickly coordinated actions to natural and human-caused disasters. The system will contain a learning module that will feed post-emergency data into the data processing module of pre-emergency decision making. In order to carry out this project, the PIs will specify scenarios and use the information generated from these scenarios to use/redeploy sensors for collecting specific data, establish communication between Emergency Managers (EMs) and disseminate appropriate information. Protocols will respect the different organizational units and the privacy of data through secure and authenticated data access. Protocols will also be sensitive to the disaster level, the load on the system and the type of information being shared.
