- | TerraMA² is intended for presenting an operational system to monitor warnings of environmental risks . The system searches for current data by means of the internet and incorporates them to its database. Comparing risk maps or some defined model, these recent data are analyzed for verification of risks. An alert is then created for each risk situation, and warning notifications are issued for all users. | + | TerraMA² provides services to search current data through the internet and to incorporate them to its database. Other services analyze new data with risk maps with some defined model and issue early warning for registered users. |
- | The warning system operation requires the access to current observation and prediction data, besides the availability of risk maps of the areas observed o mathematical models which define these risks. It also requires two user levels, divided into: | + | The warning system operation requires the access to current observation and forecast data, in addition to the availability of risk maps of the monitored areas and mathematical models which define these risks. It also requires two user levels: |
- | * System Operators: system operators are organizations which monitor any possible occurrence of natural disaster. They are responsible for the configuration and Administration module by means of an interface which enables to define the access to remote data, risk maps, additional plans, analysis, users, and bulletins. | + | * System Operators: system operators are organizations which monitor any possible occurrence of a natural disaster. They are responsible for the Configuration and the Administration modules using an interface which enables them to define the access to remote data, risk maps, additional maps, analysis, users, and warning bulletins. |
- | * Warning Clients: warning clients are agents able to execute preventive actions to decrease losses in case of disaster. They are responsible for accessing the warning module by a presentation interface which uses an internet navigator. | + | * Warning Clients: warning clients are agents able to execute preventive actions to decrease losses in case of a disaster. They are responsible to access the warning module by a display interface which uses an internet browser. |
