DESCRIPTION/ABSTRACT: On August 22, 2006, a unique preparedness exercise will take place at Atkinson Hall, the home of Calit2's UCSD division. This exercise will bring together public safety personnel from the police and fire departments, SWAT, HAZMAT, the Medical Response System, and UCSD with researchers from Calit2. For this drill, Atkinson Hall will play the part of the frontline in the war on terrorism. While first responders practice their skills in responding to urban terrorism, researchers from the WIISARD (Wireless Internet Information Systems for Medical Response in Disasters) project and the RESCUE (Response to Crises and Unexpected Events) project will deploy and test new technologies for management of mass casualty situations. If you would like to volunteer to play the role of a victim in this exercise, please contact psc@calit2.net MORE INFORMATION: |
