RSOE EDIS
Let me introduce our services.
The National Association of Radio Distress-Signalling and Infocommunications (RSOE) operates Emergency and Disaster Information Service (EDIS) within the frame of his own web site which has the objective to monitor and document all the events on Earth which may cause disaster or emergency. The main objective is to manage information about events endangering the safety of our own country. Our service is using the speed and the data spectrum of the internet to gather information. We are monitoring and processing several foreign organization’s data to get quick and certified information. This data will be continuously published on our Internet web site. Beside the official information, with the help of special programs nearly 1500-2000 internet press publication will be monitored and the publication containing predefined keywords will be processed. However, these „news” cannot be considered as official and reliable information, but many times we have learnt critical information from the internet press.
We are screening the incoming information and storing in a central database sorted by category. After processing the information we are sending it immediately via E-Mail (or other format) for the organizations and persons who have requested it. We are aspiring that the processed data will be validated and reliable in all cases, to avoid the possible panic situation caused by unreal information. That is why we are trying to create and keep contact with all organizations, which can provide validated information for us, to operate EDIS. Certainly we are publishing all incoming data and information at our website to provide up-to-date information to the citizens as well as we are publishing useful knowledge for them.
We have a knowledge database, which contains all necessary information, which can help citizens in an emergency situation.

We are continuously tracking the flood situation, the possible earthquakes, accidents and disaster situations which happened in our country.

What we do?
The EDIS website provides useful information regarding emergency situations and their prevention. Extraordinary events happening in the World are being monitored in 24 hours per day. All events processed by RSOE EDIS are displayed near real time – for the sake of international compatibility – according to the CAP protocol and REST-API interfasze on a secure website (https://hisz.rsoe.hu). To ensure clear transparency all events are categorized separately in the RSS directory (e.g. earthquake, fire, flood, landslide, nuclear event, tornado, vulcano).
The EDIS also contributes in dissemination of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) in Hungary. Beside the official information, with the help of special programs nearly 600-1500 internet press publication will be monitored and the publication containing predefined keywords will be processed. However, these “news” cannot be considered as official and reliable information, but many times we have learnt critical information from the internet press.
We are screening the incoming information and storing in a central database sorted by category. After processing the information we are sending it immediately via E-Mail (or other format) for the organisations and persons who have requested it.
