Enhanced Emergency Management System: Biometrics and Credentialing in CUNY

This project aims to develop and implement a comprehensive Emergency Management System for CUNY, including EMS capabilities assessment, technology integration, early warning systems, and biometric credentialing. It addresses the needs of emergency response personnel and the secure sharing of health information. Challenges include public awareness, sensitivity of data sharing, and logistics.

  1. BIOMETRICS CREDENTIALING AND PRIVATE HEALTH INFORMATION IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Richard L. Glover, MSSW, MPhil., CSWM 8/23/2101

  2. ACEMS Project Objective – develop and implement a CUNY wide Emergency Management System that will include: • A CUNY-wide assessment of EMS capabilities for each campus. • Improved Technology Bridge to: • Involved Public Safety Agencies. • All CUNY EMS Managers. • A web based, EMIS (Emergency Management Information System). • An Early Warning Early Detection System to help prevent or mitigate the occurrence of an emergency situation. • Funding provided by the US Dept. of Education, Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools.

  3. ACEMS Information Management • What are your informational needs as emergency response personnel? • Where is that information currently stored? • What informational resources and databases would you like that you do not already have?

  4. The Issues at Hand • http://www.emergencymgmt.com/safety/Homeland-Security-Tests-First.html. • Homeland Security Tests First Responder Credential CapabilitiesThe demonstration, known as Winter Storm, was a multi-jurisdictional test to verify the integration and interoperability of credential system attributes such as qualifications, authorizations, certifications, and privileges.

  5. Improved Technology Bridge with Public Safety • For all campuses to Emergency Command Center of: • NYC OEM • NYC DOHMH • NYPD • FDNY • Other agencies as necessary • Two way voice and data communication. • Access to and participation in the EMIS database. • All campuses with each other. • All hazard situations. • Emergency Credentialing and Privacy-Preserving Health Information Sharing

  6. Current Security Use of Biometrics on College Campuses • Security Management, February 2010, www.securitymanagement.com • Graduate Management Admission Council owns and administers a standardized test for graduate business and management programs worldwide. • 2008, 260,000 took GMAT in one of 450 testing centers in 110 countries • For security, photographed test takers, digital signatures • Collected fingerprints at all testing centers since 1996: used after each of 2 test breaks

  7. GMAC application, continued • Since 1998, using palm vein patterns for security; political problems around privacy issues and connotations of taking someone’s fingerprints with use of fingerprint-based security • Still use photograph and digital signature • Being used in 90% of testing centers • Other Applications: • Variable access control, financial transaction security

  8. Other security-related uses* • Airports • Border crossings • Olympic park construction • Approximately 80% of all applications are government applications • *ibid

  9. ACEMS & Biometrics • Secure, variable access in routine and high-risk situations • Emergency Management: privacy-preserving health information sharing • Planning • Preparedness • Response • Recovery • Potential recognition of individuals during MCI -- especially of emergency responders

  10. Challenges and questions • Public awareness of need and application • Sensitivity of issues related to health information sharing • Sensitivity of issues related to biometric credentialing • Logistics • Openness of campus environments • Interagency coordination: policies, procedures, management • ???
