Recommendation ITU-T Y.4102/Y.2074

Requirements for Internet of things devices and operation of
Internet of things applications during disaster

1 Scope
This Recommendation provides requirements for IoT devices that can be used for operation of IoT
applications in the context of disaster, in addition to the common requirements of IoT
[ITU-T Y.2066]. It also provides special requirements for the operation of IoT applications during
disaster.

The scope of this Recommendation includes requirements for:
• IoT devices in the context of disaster;
• operation of IoT applications during disaster (for each of the three identified operating
strategies).
Appendix I describes methods concerning assurance of integrity and reliability of the data produced
by IoT devices during disaster.

This Recommendation is relevant for IoT application developers and IoT service providers as well
as emergency service providers.
