SUPPORTING EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND PREPAREDNESS

Friday, November 19th, 2010

Oak Grove Technologies (OGT) is teaming up with the Telecommunications Solutions Group (TSG) to develop simulation and modeling tools for emergency management.

OGT and TSG will work with United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), at the Readiness Support Center (RSC) in Mobile, Alabama. The RSC is the command and control training and exercise facility aligned with USACE headquarters. The RSC facilitates the tactical execution of the annual training calendar for emergency response of both military contingency and civil disaster response.

OGT will manage the comprehensive all-hazards Readiness Training, Exercise, Evaluation, and Corrective Activities Program. The program is designed to enhance and improve the performance of the USACE emergency response and recovery capabilities worldwide by developing the USACE Simulation Suite. SimSuite contains multiple disaster-specific tools, including SimStorm, SimQuake, SimFlood, and SimFire, which will aid in predicting probable disaster impact and coordinating emergency response and preparedness.

SimSuite has the ability to simulate the level of impact the mentioned scenarios will have on areas and structures, as shown here. Ultimately, SimSuite will blend emerging technology, modeling data, validity alignment, and mission requirements to provide the most relevant tools, expanding globally as a valued resource for predicting impacts related to these identified scenarios, and additional modeling for other scenarios such as terrorist events.

The Oak Grove team will provide central coordination and facilitative development, as well as technical and functional expertise in order to develop SimSuite’s predictive and response functions.
