Abstract

A number of research and innovation projects aim to develop and demonstrate the benefits of novel solutions, in the particular case analysed in this paper – in the field of disaster or crisis management. The focus of the assessment of these solutions is on the benefits they bring by increasing the effectiveness and/or the performance of crisis management actors in a controlled environment. As a rule, little attention is given to safety and security considerations related to their intended use beyond trials and demonstrations, in an actual crisis management context. To speed up market uptake and innovation, this paper presents a technology-based classification of existing and potential solutions and a structure of their possible impact on safety and security. On that basis the authors identify pertinent ‘technology-impact’ combinations, list some relevant norms and standards for each such combination, and provide the outlines of three illustrative test cases. The paper concludes by a discussion on the implementation of the presented approach.
