TEMA Open Demo Days – The Flood Edition Are Now On!

The second edition of the TEMA Open Demo Days – The Flood Edition is now on! From 9 to 23 November, emergency management practitioners and other interested stakeholders across Europe are invited to explore and test the TEMA SmartDesk Platform through a realistic flood emergency scenario based on the devastating 2021 Ahr Valley floods in Germany.

Following the first edition of the TEMA Open Demo Days, this second round offers another opportunity to experience the platform first-hand, this time focusing on flood emergency management. Participants can access the web-based environment, independently explore its functionalities and assess how integrated digital technologies can support operational decision-making during a flood crisis.

Explore TEMA through a realistic flood scenario

Developed within the Horizon Europe-funded TEMA project (Trusted Extremely Precise Mapping and Prediction for Emergency Management), the TEMA SmartDesk Platform brings together artificial intelligence, predictive modelling, geospatial intelligence and advanced data analytics to support emergency preparedness, response and coordination.

Through the flood scenario, participants can explore functionalities related to:

• Situational awareness and monitoring: Access and interpret integrated information to develop an overview of the evolving emergency.
• Predictive mapping and forecasting: Explore how predictive capabilities can support the anticipation and assessment of flood impacts.
• Operational coordination: Examine how digital tools can facilitate coordination during emergency response.
• Decision-support workflows: Discover how integrated information can support more informed operational decisions.
• Integrated crisis data visualisation: Explore how different data sources can be brought together to support a common operational picture.

Who can participate?

The Open Demo Days are designed for civil protection authorities, fire and rescue services, emergency medical services, law enforcement agencies, public authorities, emergency management researchers and other relevant operational stakeholders.

Participation is fully online, allowing interested users to explore the platform at their own pace during the demonstration period.

Your feedback matters

Beyond demonstrating the platform's capabilities, the Open Demo Days aim to gather valuable feedback from practitioners and relevant stakeholders. Participants are encouraged to explore the available functionalities and share their experience, contributing to the further assessment of the platform's usability and its potential for operational uptake.
