MOBILISE: GMRF Innovation Pilot

The MOBILISE 3.0, built on a micro-service architecture, offers a set of cloud-based digital services for local and national government agencies to collaborate in building local community resilience. At the heart of the MOBILISE 3.0 is a cloud-based risk information space, referred to as MOBILISE: Data Engine. It allows local councils or local disaster management committees to capture and maintain their local intelligence on exposure, vulnerability and potential hazards. In addition, the MOBILISE: Data Engine offers important data management functionality such as data cleansing, styling of data layers to enhance visual appearance, attaching of metadata such as origin of the data layers, year of data collection, star rating based on its quality, security level etc. The risk information within the MOBILISE: Data Engine is used by a range of other digital services available within the MOBILISE platform to perform activities such as evidence-based decision making, multi-agency collaboration, community engagement, real-time environmental data monitoring, early warning system and scenario planning through an easy to use visual interface. Thanks to the innovative and scalable nature of the micro-service architecture, all the digital services are offered to the users using the “Software as a Service” (SaaS) model.

MOBILISE: Risk Explorer: This tool allows the local stakeholders to explore the local risk information spaces in an interactive manner to establish a common understanding of the local risks (current and future risks due to climate change) in their area.
MOBILISE: Scenario Generator: This tool allows government agencies to consider possible future hazards due to climate change, and gain an in-depth understanding of the magnitude of the potentially affected population, impacted roads and critical infrastructure, damages and losses within different administrative boundaries.
MOBILISE: IoT Network Integrator: This tool offers functionalities for integrating disconnected sensor networks to establish better situational intelligence for issuing more accurate early warning messages to the community at risks, during disasters.
MOBILISE: Early Warning System: This tool allows national or local agencies to digitize their early warning dissemination methods, so that the warnings can be sent more efficiently and effectively to the community at risks, hence potentially saving lives. The built-in reprogrammable MOBILISE workflow system can be used to digitally authorise the early warnings by relevant organisations and send them directly to the citizens living in the risk area, through the MOBILISE MOBISense community app.

Building on its long-established partnership with the THINKlab within the School of Science, Engineering & Environment at the University of Salford, Greater Manchester Resilience Forum (GMRF) is exploring new ways of using technology to engage practitioners and the public in understanding disaster risks.

To build an effective whole of society approach to resilience, it is crucial to engage the science and technology community to develop, implement and provide data, information and services to those stakeholders or communities that may be impacted by disasters or, that through their own activity, may drive an increase in risk. Working together, the THINKlab and GMRF are looking to draw on their combined experience to create the following three demonstrator projects to show how advanced digital technologies can be used not only for data sharing but for collaborating to build resilience and disaster preparedness with local partners, including local communities.

RESIDE (Risk Evaluation & Solutions In Digital Engagement), will work on implementing a platform to enable cross-sector partners to collaborate on a detailed understanding of local risk.

RISE (Resilience Innovation for Social Engagement), will demonstrate how a digital platform can be used to strengthen community engagement with LRFs in building community resilience against disasters.

TIDE (Technology, Innovation, Driving Engagement), will explore how the scenarios developed through the creation of digital platforms, can strengthen training and exercising.
