  2. Disaster Communications and Operations Management Solution

  3. The Current System is Incomplete There is a big void for volunteers and impacted residents • No clear, common operating picture (COP) exists during emergency response and recovery for volunteers and citizens • No sustainable solution exists for data collection, and information dissemination to volunteers and citizens • There are limited tools in place today for information dissemination: • Mass Media • Static Websites • Proprietary or closed systems The need for a simple end-to-end communication solution was evident in recent events: • Harris County did not know what volunteers / supplies were coming (or when) • Existing Wi-Fi was overloaded in public areas • Harris County officials used a telephone tree during Katrina • The Internet exists but is unusable without tools to make it useful for the situation • The Red Cross used a paper-based system for gathering information • There were 20-30,000 pieces of paper collected • 110,000 local volunteers participated in the Katrina and Rita efforts Source: Harris County Disaster Planning Office Post Katrina and Rita

  4. And Disasters are Growing Every Year • The scale of disruption and damage caused by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita were unprecedented • Rita required the largest evacuation in U.S. history • Katrina displaced over 1.1 Million people • 220,000 disaster relief workers participated across the U.S. • Katrina relief is estimated to exceed $2 Billion • No automation in place causing massive delays/errors during ---registration process

  5. What Do Cities Need? • Interoperable Communications that link first responders, agency staff, citizens, volunteers and others • Redundancy that allows communications despite extensive damage to facilities, equipment and infrastructure • The ability to immediately re-establish disaster-site communications • Flexibility to adapt the rapidly changing situations and scale when required • Rock-solid reliability and trustworthy support • Pre-configured solutions that combine needed capabilities into a comprehensive end-to-end solution • Affordability and the ability to rapidly scale capabilities • The ability to cross geographical boundaries to integrate displaced residents and remote volunteers with no barriers
