WEBVTT - https://subtitletools.com 00:00:06.047 --> 00:00:13.388 Narrator: When disasters strike, multiple responder agencies must work together to provide aid and response. 00:00:13.388 --> 00:00:19.436 During FEMA’s recent Shaken Fury exercise, the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate 00:00:19.436 --> 00:00:22.522 provided technology and tools to make that happen. 00:00:22.731 --> 00:00:28.862 Szczech: Shaken Fury is an important exercise. The scenario that they're using with the New Madrid Seismic Zone, 00:00:28.862 --> 00:00:38.038 it brings all the players together, whether it's federal agencies, state agencies, or private sector partners. 00:00:38.038 --> 00:00:42.042 so that we can validate the plans that we've been working on over the years. 00:00:42.042 --> 00:00:45.628 Dossett: It is about a coordinated effort. It's multiple states. 00:00:45.628 --> 00:00:51.009 In CUSEC, the Central US Earthquake Consortium, the exercise involves eight states. 00:00:51.009 --> 00:00:56.097 that are joining together to share data, to share situational awareness, 00:00:56.097 --> 00:01:01.561 and in this construct, it's called the RISP: the Regional Information Sharing Portal. 00:01:01.561 --> 00:01:08.818 Narration: S&T had a dual focus during the Shaken Fury exercise: search and rescue and information sharing 00:01:08.818 --> 00:01:14.157 Langhelm: the primary information sharing tool we've deployed here is the Regional Information Sharing Portal. 00:01:14.157 --> 00:01:18.536 And essentially, that is the backbone of all the information sharing systems that we have. 00:01:18.536 --> 00:01:20.663 everything is tied, connected to it. 00:01:20.663 --> 00:01:25.502 we have information coming both feeding into it as well as, uh, flowing back out it into other applications. 00:01:25.502 --> 00:01:31.007 it's providing information for the entire operation center here in Kentucky as well as other CUSEC states. 00:01:31.007 --> 00:01:36.471 EADES: every single one of these calls that come in, they're representing something that's happening in a specific location. 00:01:36.471 --> 00:01:42.310 So, we're looking at the 24 counties in the western part of the state, with a focus on eight counties. 00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:46.523 And so based on the number of calls, based on the number of reports that we get in 00:01:46.523 --> 00:01:50.693 from that area, then we can actually track what's going on down there, using that technology. 00:01:50.693 --> 00:01:55.990 DOSSETT; If you give your responders the right technology, watch and see what they can do. 00:01:55.990 --> 00:02:00.203 They work miracles at, out there. You see miracles out at every disaster. 00:02:00.203 --> 00:02:06.334 ♪♪
