Rick Russotti will discuss Virtual Command
on upcoming Mitigation Journal PodCast

The purpose of Mitigation Journal is to share information across disciplines - traditional and non-traditional responders. The journal looks at identified threats and future potentials; delivering the information so its meaningful every day...not just when the “big one” hits.

     


Mitigation Journal started with a blog in November 2005 - which continues today- and evolved into the podcast in December 2006. The number of readers and listeners continues to grow and Mitigation Journal Podcast is listened to by thousands of emergency responders and agency leaders each week. Based in Rochester, NY, Mitigation Journal is read and heard in several countries outside of the United Sates.

Rick Russotti is the host and producer of Mitigation Journal. Rick retired in 2009 as a Battalion Chief after twenty-one years of service and continues to work as a paramedic in Monroe County. Rick is a featured speaker at regional EMS conferences as well as training sessions across the country sponsored by the Public Health Foundation, Centers for Disease Control and National Association of City and County Health Officials.

American Integration Contractors
introduces
Safe Room Technology

American Integration Contractors introduces Safe Room Technology as part of its Virtual Command Technology product suite. Safe Room Technology was successfully demonstrated in Baton Rouge, LA in May 2008 when Virtual Command was shown to mitigate the "Active Shooter" on campus scenario. The SWAT teams participating in the drill were from the following agencies: Baton Rouge Police Department, East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Department, and the Louisiana State Police. Emergency medical response was provided by Baton Rouge EMS which independently compiled the results. In addition 120 civilian student role players, teachers and administrators participated in this drill. The following figure illustrates the results of the 2-day "Active Shooter" drills.


Safe Room Technology includes:
  • Fortified classroom doors that are modified with armored lock plates that protect the lock and latch, electric Grade A locks with remote release and an electrofied hinge.
  • Door windows (vision lites), glass doors and glass-fronts adjacent to a door are protected by bullet resistant plastic glass laminate.
  • Blue strobe light at the entrance to identify them as a refuge room.
  • Amber strobe lights placed at 30' intervals in corridors which activate during an emergency.
  • Covert cameras that activate during an emergency to provide real-time video information to first responders.
  • Signaling Stations integrated to the secusity system that activate during and emergency to provide responding units the with the status of the room; e.g., under attack, momentarily safe and, or wounded in the room.
  • Emergency events are triggered using wireless key fobs carried by faculty and staff

Virtual Command Technology
demonstrated at the
Microsoft Public Safety Symposium

NetTalon's Virtual Command Technology was demonstrated recently at the Microsoft Public Safety Symposium held in Redmond, WA between January 26-29, 2010.

NetTalon's Remote Monitoring Software (RMS) was loaded on a Xplore Technologies iX104C4 ruggedized computer. The iX104C4 is powered by an Intel dual core processor which enables it to utilize the full power of Windows operating systems: Vista Business and XP Tablet PC Edition. This powerful combination enables organizations to distribute more applications in the field and increase worker productivity. Tim Killion, Sales Manager – Major Accounts for Xplore Technologies worked with NetTalon's Brian Whitaker to demonstrate Virtual Command Technology "Security", "Fire" and "Active Shooter" applications to interested symposium attendees.

We would like to publically thank Tim Killion for choosing NetTalon to demonstrate Xplore Technologies rugged mobile computers and Virtual Command Technology.
