STRATEGY project aims at selecting and implementing existing, evolving and new standards within solutions, tools, procedural guidelines and recommendations. The project will streamline and validate technical and organisational interoperability in a fully transboundary configuration with means of standards through the implementation of use cases involving EU and National Standardisation bodies. The main objective is to enhance the resilience of EU against all types of natural & manmade disasters (multi-hazard approach), through validating the standards of next-generation solutions and procedures ensuring an effective and efficient collaborative response. This article presents the validation activities carried out for two pre-standardisation items entitled ‘Specifications for Digital Scenarios for Crisis Managements’ and ‘Requirements for acquiring digital information from victims during Search and Rescue operations’. The results of the developments and the implementation and evaluation through a Full-Scale Exercise are presented which aimed at collecting feedback from key crisis management stakeholders which included first responders, academia and researchers, industry and public authorities.
