Forest fires, floods, devastating earthquakes, pandemics (Covid-19), industrial accidents, and many other tragic events regularly test our ability to prevent, respond to, and recover from them. In this context, technological advances play a crucial role in improving our ability to cope with disasters. Monitoring, communication, and crisis management technologies help strengthen our ability to anticipate disasters, coordinate our response efforts, and accelerate the process of resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>In each phase of a disaster, technologies can be exploited. For example, in the pre-disaster phase, technologies can be used to monitor weather conditions, detect natural disaster risks and improve infrastructure design. Early warning systems can also be useful in alerting people of the risks of natural disasters before they occur. During crises, technologies can be used to facilitate the coordination of relief, locate victims, determine needs, etc. Finally, in the post-crisis phase disaster, technologies such as drones can be used to provide medical assistance in disaster-affected areas, and other technologies such as virtual or augmented reality can serve to train and prepare first responders to deal with emergency situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>From this perspective, and as part of the national study days on the perspectives of Algerian Civil Protection to adapt to modern scientific and technological developments, the CERIST (Research Centre on Scientific and Technical Information), in collaboration with the Algerian Civil Protection, the University Yahia Far\u00e8s of Medea, and the DGRSDT (Directorate-General for Scientific Research and Technological Development) is organizing a hackathon with the following main objectives:&nbsp;<br>Drive innovation by bringing together creative minds to solve complex disaster management problems;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drive innovation by bringing together creative minds to solve complex disaster management problems;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foster interdisciplinary and cross-sectional collaboration to develop innovative solutions for emergency situations;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop functional prototypes and practical and operational ideas to address the specific challenges of disaster management;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create an environment conducive to learning, experimentation and development of concrete and functional solutions dedicated to disaster management;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourage entrepreneurship and advance ideas and support initiatives that have a positive impact on society in the field of civil protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#104868\"><strong>MAIN TRACKS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong># Track 1: Forest fires<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Forest fires represent a serious threat to the economy, the environment, and, unfortunately, too often, to human lives. In order to better understand the spread and evolution of fires, to identify areas at risk, to provide support to civil protection teams engaged in the fight against flames, and ultimately, to save lives, new technologies are positioned as valuable tools to optimize prevention and control approaches and prioritize interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong># Track 2: Flooding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floods are a major risk on the national territory. Once triggered, the flood phenomenon quickly becomes difficult to control and this can lead to significant property damage and consequent loss of life. Providing predictive mapping of floods and an accurate assessment of their impacts on the population, buildings and critical infrastructure become necessary to control these disasters and limit their impacts. Exploitation of modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, computer vision (image analysis) and numerical modeling can provide access to new environmental measures and provide new information, not only to help predict immediate flood threats, but also to improve prevention strategies, of anticipation and intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong># Track 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>This track aims at exploring innovative solutions to provide effective and accessible psychological support to people affected by disasters. The aim is to develop innovative technological solutions that enable first responders to provide immediate psychological support, as well as longer-term monitoring of disaster-related trauma. Participants are encouraged to think creatively and integrate technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual or augmented reality, as well as data analysis, to design customized solutions tailored to the specific needs of victims of disaster-related trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong># Track 4: Open track (Other natural and technological risks)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This track deliberately left open, aims to stimulate the creativity of participants by exploring solutions related to societal challenges such as technological risks or other emerging natural risks. The goal is to foster innovative ideas and approaches that can better understand, prevent and mitigate these risks while focusing on integrated and holistic solutions. Participants are encouraged to take a holistic view to build resilience to the multiple challenges of these emerging risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"
