How It Works• A collision in City A between an oil tanker and a train carrying chemicals triggers a major toxic incident• Per pre-planned National Incident Management System (NIMS) procedures the following happens:

• Interoperable radio connectivity between City A Emergency Responders initially• Interoperable radio connectivity with supporting County agencies• Interoperable radio connectivity with Cities B & C Emergency Responders per escalation procedures• PSTN/Cellular/Satellite/network connectivity and interoperability with selected devices

• Pre-defined tiered workgroups provide immediate span of control at each tier• Effective response and recovery procedures also permit ad hoc connectivity per situation circumstances• Interoperability occurs between all existing devices regardless of make, model, manufacturer or frequency

The Intermodal Life CycleTransportation companies must co-ordinate operations of different nodes:• Traffic systems control shipping, highways, railroads, air corridors• Fleet systems schedule and move trucking, transit, railcar fleets• Terminal systems move goods in & out of airports, ports, rail yards• Incident systems dispatch crews for response & clearance processes• Information systems track goods status/condition for public/companies

Utilities

8

Utility companies require reliable, robust and instant communications• Oil and gas, power generation and transmission, water treatment• Link facilities and staff to effectively serve customers & communities• Support other utilities in other geographies during disasters• 24 x 7 x 365 Operations

Mining & Exploration
