Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Satellite Earth Stations and
Systems (SES).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering the reference scenario for the deployment of
emergency communications, as identified below:
Part 1: "Earthquake";
Part 2: "Mass casualty incident in public transportation".
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "may not", "need", "need not", "will",
"will not", "can" and "cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms
for the expression of provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Introduction
Major emergencies or disasters may result in a need for additional resources in local telecommunications networks,
especially if they are damaged or overloaded, in order to maintain or enhance the ability of emergency services to
respond and coordinate their activities effectively. Satellites can play a role in replacing or supplementing other
telecommunications links in these scenarios. For example satellite systems can provide:
• broadband and secure communication facilities anywhere/anytime in locations where no other facilities are
available; and
• temporary replacement of broken/saturated infrastructures by means of backhauling;
• fast deployment of temporary communication networks in emergency situations.
Hence a basis for requirements for such links needs to be established, and it is intended that the scenarios defined here
may be used for this purpose at a later stage.
The present document is also a response to EC mandate M/496 [i.12], specifically dossier 9 "Disaster Management"
part 2: "Emergency Telecommunication Services" which aims to support standardization for the optimal needs of the
emergency responders.
The use of satellite communication in disasters is described in ETSI TS 102 181 [i.1].

6 ETSI TS 103 260-1 V1.1.1 (2015-05)
In the present document clause 4 defines the scenario, in terms of physical effects, what actions need to be taken by
which actors (who will have communications needs) and what their tasks are. This definition constitutes a basis for
clause 5, which defines the nature of information exchanges needed. Clause 6 defines the detailed parameters relating to
positions and movements of scenario actors, which are intended to forma basis for modelling of the scenario response
topology. These parameters are generic enough to be applicable or adapted to similar but different scenarios, and may
eventually be used to model the requirements for actors' communication exchanges, and associated capacities.

1 Scope
The present document defines an earthquake disaster scenario. The scenario includes definition of the responders
involved and their gross communication needs without specifying the network technologies involved. Finally the
topology modelling of the responders involved is defined, in terms of their disposition in the Incident Area, their time
evolution and their movements (if any).
The scenario is not generic in the sense of representing all emergencies of this type, but is intended to be a "typical"
example, and thus a reference in order to allow evaluation and dimensioning of required overall emergency
telecommunications.
The regulations and operating procedures for Emergency Responses vary between countries e.g. the organization
responsible for the emergency can be the police, the fire and rescue organization, a dedicated organization for this
purpose (e.g. civil protection) or others.
The response services defined are limited to safety-related services (i.e. not security such as law enforcement).
Casualties and personnel not active in the rescue operations (e.g. the press) have been excluded, as their
communications needs are not covered by the emergency communication systems considered here, but their needs are
considered in ETSI TR 102 410 [i.2].
