JITTEIS deployed at the Liberty RadEx
Philadelphia hosted this week the largest radiological terrorism training exercise in US history, with over one thousand participants from every relevant federal agency, state and local response agencies, and observers from five foreign countries. The Liberty RadEx was designed to evaluate the coordination of participants, and their response time to the many "surprises" programmed by the exercise planners (e.g., compromised level-C PPE and contamination of municipal water). At the request of NIH and EPA, JITTEIS was deployed at the Unified Command Center to push just-in-time safety training and logistics videos to the cell phones of all safety officers at all venues including subway stations, water treatment plants, and Navy yards. JITTIES successfully interoperated with diverse mobile devices including personal and issued phones with and without data plans and web browsers. JITTEIS staff also demonstrated a quick turn-around time to requests for the creation of new videos from safety officers in the Unified Command and out in the field. In total, JITTEIS pushed 24 videos to every cell phone enrolled at the exercise. |
