Follow on Google News | Real-time D4H Software Aids Response To Massachusetts Terror Attack DrillOperation SCORE was one of the largest mobilization exercises in Massachusetts history with over 700 responders.
By: D4H Technologies With over 700 first responders including the Massachusetts National Guard on the rubble pile at Joint Base Cape Cod, these complex operations involve large multidisciplinary teams of Urban Search & Rescue, Technical Rescue, Hazardous Materials, and an Incident Support Team with a chief for each logistics, planning, operations, and administration. "It is real for us," said First Lieutenant Medeiros with the Massachusetts National Guard. "We are a no-notice mission. We get the call and we move out. It's not if. It's when." With this known complexity, the operation utilized the D4H 'Live Response' software platform; the latest in real-time technologies for managing the information flows during an incident. "When the scale of the terrorist attack was determined, the Incident Command staff and Support Team at this exercise were faced with high volumes of information" Live Response has been designed by D4H to track events throughout the incident, with timestamped event logs, collaborative forms, real-time mapping, vehicle assignments, personnel accountability - all visualized in an easy to understand interface of dashboards and status boards on tablets, laptops, and large monitors throughout the command post.
