UdZ 2-2021 / 49 PAIRS: Pandemic andToilet Paper? Especially in times of crisis, sovereign supply chains have proven to be essential in order to be able to guarantee system-relevant processes without disruptions. However, no two crises are alike. Floods or an economic crisis differ significantly from a pandemic, so that different political as well as economic measures are required from the players involved. Nevertheless, crises have one thing in common: early risk assessment and targeted action are necessary to manage a crisis. In the research project ‘PAIRS (Privacy-Aware, Intelligent and Resilient CrisiS Management)’, a cross-domain approach was chosen to identify crisis scenarios and anticipate their development based on a hybrid AI methodology. In addition, the envisioned service- based platform supports stakeholders in crisis early warning, crisis monitoring, and evaluation of response strategies. This will enable them to react quickly to crisis situations and initiate measures to minimize negative effects. At the same time, the platform approach enables access to diverse and distributed data sources as well as interaction and cooperation between different services. >
