Environment emergency management centres offered by Telvent are aimed at preventing environmental disasters like: floods, water contamination, forest fires, toxic gas emission, earthquakes, etc., and assist in the decision taking in the face of the same to mitigate their effects.

Environmental emergency management proposed by Telvent is characterised by offering the customer three applications which are complementary:

• Continuous environment control. The system collects, analyses and stores all the information from sensors located at strategic points which remit data in real time for greater accuracy. These data are analysed with an information treatment system, models and geographical information systems, using a database for analysis containing detailed information on water reserves, state of reservoirs, situation of river basins, roads, bridges, water mains, etc. The system generates images and graphs with all this besides collecting geographical and infrastructure.
• Contingency plan design, development and start-up. An effective crisis management centre is responsible for designing and developing contingency plans to assess processes of actions plans to be executed during a crisis. In the event of a crisis, the system uses real time information to notify the police, fire brigade, coast guards, navy, etc., reminding them of the recommended details of operational procedures in response to the corresponding crisis to each of the organizations.

Simulation of possible scenarios. For training in contingency plan creation simulation exercises are used where there are possible environmental disaster scenarios starting from common bases, thus recreating the emergency and implementing the best plan prior to a real crisis. Thanks to the solution offered by Telvent, people know how to act in a crisis and how to implement an action plan the best way possible.

Telvent applies their entire experience in information systems for these environmental crisis management centres to predict, forecast and where appropriate assist actively in decision taking in adverse situations.
