Emergency Response
Planning, detection, resource deployment, crisis management, coordination, and communication during disasters and emergencies.
A web-based information dashboard that provides analysts from the National Biosurveillance Integration Center the ability to track and monitor disease outbreaks across the world. This tool provides a common integrated view of the information for both situational awareness and decision-making, and is has been deployed for use in a 24/7 Department of Homeland Security command center.
A cross platform mobile application that can be used by veterinarians for easily capturing of syndromic symptoms of animals in the field. This application allows for form-based submission in both a live and store-and-forward fashion for use in even very rural locations. The results can be queried and displayed in both a geospatial and temporal fashion within an analyst workstation. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.
A web-based information dashboard that provides a user-defined common operating picture across multiple echelons and within different functional areas. This tool was used as part of an on-the-water exercise by the Coast Guard’s Sector Seattle Command Center in August of 2009. These dashboards provided integration of live data feeds describing the current operational environment, real-time video and sensors for providing monitoring and surveillance capabilities, and custom simulation and visual analytic products. The common integration of these diverse tools supported the full decision-making process.
Developed and deployed an innovative and unique hybrid micro-grid technology that actively stores energy from renewable energy sources for as a deployable power solution for emergency response and recovery operations along the Texas-Mexico border.
A mobile telemedicine solution providing high quality video, audio and patient physiologic data in real-time from mobile remote ambulances, deployable systems, and portable kits to hospital physicians to enable earlier physician intervention, resulting in increased survivability and reduced morbidity.
Designed, developed, and deployed an information dashboard to provide relevant, integrated, and real-time information to decision-makers by presenting a user-defined common operating picture synthesizing authoritative data sources.
An exercise management system used to help train both civilian and military emergency response personnel in large-scale incident management and planning. Over 25,000 U.S. and international emergency responders have been trained in exercises ranging from the incident command post up to the state operations level.
A simulation-based, virtual training system to support TEEX’s Industrial Incident Management and Incident Command training program. This system immerses trainees into highly realistic situations, provides opportunities to exercise management and response doctrine within situation-specific emergencies, and enables for a richer and more effective training experience for participants.
Developed innovative technology to support secure data compartmentalization, sharing, visualization, and analysis that enables animal producers to maintain business continuity and perform risk management during an active animal disease outbreak, thereby minimizing business downtime and negative effects on the U.S. economy.
A system for integrating and analyzing syndromic surveillance data captured from mobile apps and other relevant sources. The data is aggregated and combined with embedded visualization and analysis tools to help determine baseline conditions in order to detect any anomalies that may signal the onset of an animal disease outbreak. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.
