EDIS
RSOE’s emergency and disaster information service
Our goal is to continuously leverage the achievements of the 21st century, further develop them as needed, and—by involving technical tools enabled by infocommunications—support improved safety and assist the work of authorities in a comprehensive way. We contribute to their activities through the following approach:
For many years, our association has been developing various mobile applications and software solutions, whether related to transportation, disaster situations, navigation, or the protection of citizens. RSOE is committed to technological innovation in order to provide solutions in a wide range of scenarios. Our main objective is to increase public safety through our developments and to support efficient information flow in emergencies. The applications we develop help authorities and citizens respond quickly and minimize damage in critical situations. We pay special attention to ensuring that our systems are easy to use and accessible to everyone. We are proud that RSOE solutions have proven effective in many areas worldwide.
RSOE-EDIS is a service launched in 2004 that provides consolidated, consistent and—where possible—verified information about natural and human-induced emergencies and disasters occurring around the world.
To achieve this goal, our team continuously monitors various sources (cooperating partners, governmental and civil organizations, and the media) for relevant information. We collect, organize, and often cross-check these inputs multiple times, then publish them on the RSOE-EDIS website, which is accessible to everyone.
Our service monitors events 24/7, and we currently publish various human-induced or natural events in 81 main and subcategories, such as:
- earthquakes
- volcanic activity
- tsunami
- floods
- drought
- epidemics
- major industrial accidents (nuclear power plants, chemical and other industrial facilities)
- major incidents affecting transportation infrastructure
- fires (vegetation and industrial)
After collection and validation, events are published on the website in near real time, and subsequent updates and related information are added as they become available.
In addition to the core event data, we can provide information of interest to our cooperating and contracted partners in the form of standardized messages. As an additional service, our now 16-year database can also provide historical information about events that occurred in a given area or time period, enabling analyses to be prepared.
As a result of ongoing developments, event information is currently available in Hungarian and English, and additional language support is under development.
