  • (M)KSID - new communication tool during an emergency
    Tkavc, Marjan ; Stritar, Andrej ; Pungerčar, Darko
    The Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration (SNSA) has developed a new tool for communication during an emergency. The tool, which is called KSID (Komunikacijski sistem med izrednim dogodkom), ... replaced classic paper documents for internal communication between expert groups at the SNSA, since there have been a lot of paperwork and time delays with the older system. The KSID is a web application (PHP, MySQL) that runs in an ordinary browser and thus requires no special software and practically no training. Basically, it is a platform for exchanging messages and attachments in a form of a single table with each message in a single row and the newest on the top. The benefit of the KSID is that the communication is: immediate - published message is seen at once, direct - the message is seen by all members, secure - it runs on an independent network, full - messages can include attachments (different types of files), recorded - messaging during an event is archived. Since the KSID users' feedback at the SNSA was very positive, the KSID was upgraded to external version called MKSID (Medresorni komunikacijski sistem med izrednim dogodkom) to connect major national stakeholders in a case of a nuclear emergency (The SNSA, The Krsko NPP, Civil Protection and The Government Communication Office). The MKSID was successfully introduced in 2008 and validated during the national exercise in October 2008. Since the benefits of MKSID are recognized by other stakeholders, broadening of the network of users is on-going. In this paper, the development of (M)KSID is presented with emphasis on the front end layout.
