Since the VALKYRIES project aims at exploring the impact of the emerging technologies, procedures and collaboration tools for supporting the actuation of the first aid responders on cross-border disasters and major crisis situations, three work streams and a reference integration will be developed:
Technologies and Equipment for first aid responders
Procedures and Operation for first aid responders
Collaboration and Training for first aid responders
A reference integration of disruptive enablers on legacy solutions will be conducted driven by real requirements and needs highlighted by the Consortium’s end-users and practitioners, being presented at real cross-border demonstrations. The main aim is to provide a real use case driven implementation that allow applying the proposed normalizations on some of the discovered technological (KARA), procedural (HERJA) and collaborative and training (EIR) opportunities. The project outcomes will motivate and incentive cross-border and cross-sectorial collaboration, participating in the preparedness persons involved in the disaster management activities, supporting the orchestration of volunteering actions, bringing capabilities for enhancing the effectiveness of the EMS units while increasing their security, and once the crisis is stabilized, contributing to the recovery and post-response analytical actions
