National disaster management system for Indonesia 
A consortium, headed by Astrium and including Infoterra France and IGN France International, has successfully completed a new crisis management system at the National Disaster Management Centre in Jakarta and at three regional centres based in Jakarta, Padang and Banda Aceh.
This system includes a geographic information system and decision-making support based on Infoterra France's RISKFRAME, a software application specially designed for risk and crisis management. The centres were also equipped with cartography databases (digital topographic maps). In the event of a crisis, this suite of applications makes it possible to draw up an intervention plan, visualise the situation and its development on a map, as well as manage and monitor all resources deployed in the field, so as to better understand and optimally manage the situation. In the prevention phase, the system allows users to manage and maintain operational geographic data, study crisis scenarios and prepare rescue plans. Since this tool is highly configurable, applications and data can be updated easily and expanded as the need arises.
