Situational Awareness & Readiness
Minimizing the effects of a disaster requires a coordinated effort between multiple government agencies, interagency departments, and first responders. Imagine if within the first few hours after a storm you knew exactly what facilities had been damaged and to what extent (with pictures), where flooding or debris were making roads impassable, where signals had been damaged, what hospitals had or were currently being evacuated, which hospitals were full and no longer accepting patients, the location of all of the city’s fire and police personnel, all in real-time, all on ONE situation map. Not only would you have this information readily accessible, but you could broadcast this information via a secured website to all governmental agencies and first responder organizations. Situational changes, which previously could take hours to circulate, instead would take only minutes.

Emergency Management
Imagine knowing before disaster strikes what the potential effects would be, such as estimated damage to buildings, flooding zones, signal outages, roads washed away, amount and types of debris, and the number of households displaced. You could then plan your emergency response accordingly, prior to the actual event. Using modeling and simulation services developed by Metric Engineering, government agencies can test “what-if” scenarios without incurring the cost and time required for live simulations, deployments, and tests.
