[Music]

00:00:07,188 --> 00:00:13,227

00:00:13,227 --> 00:00:15,540
Brooks: We don't see ourselves as two countries.

5
00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:19,212
We see Sarnia-Lambton and St. Clair County, Michigan

6
00:00:19,212 --> 00:00:21,668
as one community with a river that runs through it.

7
00:00:21,668 --> 00:00:24,068
Falecki: If we have disasters and we can't communicate to each other,

8
00:00:24,068 --> 00:00:26,996
especially with our first responders and ambulances,

9
00:00:26,996 --> 00:00:29,652
that can cause a detriment to our healthcare.

10
00:00:29,652 --> 00:00:33,836
Narrator: The Canada-U.S. Enhanced Resiliency Experiment is designed to

11
00:00:33,836 --> 00:00:39,052
improve situational awareness and information sharing between the two countries.

12
00:00:39,052 --> 00:00:43,764
The first scenario is designed to test interoperability and broadband

13
00:00:43,764 --> 00:00:49,308
with sending paramedics in ambulances to and from both countries.

14
00:00:49,308 --> 00:00:51,604
Falecki: Well, two and from the hospitals,

15
00:00:51,604 --> 00:00:54,476
we can directly, in the United States, talk to our ambulances.

16
00:00:54,476 --> 00:00:58,252
But unfortunately any ambulances coming from Canada,

17
00:00:58,252 --> 00:01:01,484
we cannot talk to directly; they're on a different system.

18
00:01:01,484 --> 00:01:03,388
So they're like in a dead zone.

19
00:01:03,388 --> 00:01:06,908
Brooks: The goal is to build a network of communication,

20
00:01:06,908 --> 00:01:11,892
both data and potentially voice communication that will span the border.

21
00:01:11,892 --> 00:01:15,396
So with this technology we'll be able to maintain communication

22
00:01:15,396 --> 00:01:18,332
in the event that the patient deteriorates,

23
00:01:18,332 --> 00:01:20,852
there's a problem with the vehicle or the crew

24
00:01:20,852 --> 00:01:25,052
or we need directions to get from one place to the other.

25
00:01:25,052 --> 00:01:28,132
The other advantage is from a patient care perspective.

26
00:01:28,132 --> 00:01:31,220
So now we'll be able to transmit live data,

27
00:01:31,220 --> 00:01:34,020
the patient's current condition, whether it be vital signs,

28
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:37,404
electrocardiograms, video conferencing,

29
00:01:37,404 --> 00:01:40,541
to the hospital and to the physician that's receiving the patient.

30
00:01:40,541 --> 00:01:44,140
So when we get there, they'll be better able to manage the patient.

31
00:01:44,140 --> 00:01:48,436
They'll have a lot more information and be ready for them when they get there.

32
00:01:48,436 --> 00:01:50,772
Rosso: We are in-between the two countries.

33
00:01:50,772 --> 00:01:55,876
We are a speed bump and everything that happens as people are crossing the border.

34
00:01:55,876 --> 00:01:58,527
So with emergency managers,

35
00:01:58,527 --> 00:02:02,910
it's very important that we get them through as expeditiously as possible,

36
00:02:02,910 --> 00:02:07,078
but not hampering any security for the United States.

37
00:02:07,078 --> 00:02:11,048
We can do a pre-vetting for those people.

38
00:02:11,048 --> 00:02:14,719
During the CAUSE IV experiment exercises,

39
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:17,767
we're going to run their information through the system,

40
00:02:17,767 --> 00:02:19,935
checking for threat assessment.

41
00:02:19,935 --> 00:02:22,992
The officers will do a quick validation.

42
00:02:22,992 --> 00:02:25,671
Once that is done the officers will indicate

43
00:02:25,671 --> 00:02:30,015
that they may proceed into the United States.

44
00:02:30,015 --> 00:02:31,807
Socha: So looking back on the experiment,

45
00:02:31,807 --> 00:02:34,367
I think it was a resounding success,

46
00:02:34,367 --> 00:02:36,375
where there's a lot of firsts that were done

47
00:02:36,375 --> 00:02:38,246
and certainly from the paramedic side.

48
00:02:38,246 --> 00:02:42,279
We were able to transmit a cardiac twelve-lead heart monitors to the hospital.

49
00:02:42,279 --> 00:02:46,103
We were actually able to get in touch with U.S. physicians

50
00:02:46,103 --> 00:02:49,663
as well as the U.S. dispatch center and the border authorities.

51
00:02:49,663 --> 00:02:53,022
And that really allowed us to communicate data

52
00:02:53,022 --> 00:02:56,831
and at the same time perform excellent patient care in those environments.

53
00:02:56,831 --> 00:03:00,327
Fournier: This is maintaining the communication and the applications

54
00:03:00,327 --> 00:03:03,079
as you move from one network to another.

55
00:03:03,079 --> 00:03:05,807
Normally, roaming doesn't support that,

56
00:03:05,807 --> 00:03:08,983
but in this case we are maintaining that communication session

57
00:03:08,983 --> 00:03:12,302
as the ambulance crosses the bridge from Canada to the U.S.

58
00:03:12,302 --> 00:03:14,775
and changes over to the U.S. network.

59
00:03:14,775 --> 00:03:17,831
They're still maintaining all applications they have and even

60
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:21,623
the real-time applications, such as video conferencing and whatnot.

61
00:03:21,623 --> 00:03:24,111
Beveridge: What happens in a disaster?

62
00:03:24,111 --> 00:03:26,935
You know, those, that simple communication in a secure network,

63
00:03:26,935 --> 00:03:31,407
because we all know the regular cell signals are all going to probably crash

64
00:03:31,407 --> 00:03:34,526
in the middle of a major disaster, because what does everybody do?

65
00:03:34,526 --> 00:03:36,815
We all pull out our cellphones.

66
00:03:36,815 --> 00:03:39,943
So this new system, if it, if it's successful

67
00:03:39,943 --> 00:03:46,566
and we can implement that technology, could greatly reduce the loss of life.

68
00:03:46,566 --> 00:03:53,343
And you know, from our people that would be our patients and our first responders.

69
00:03:53,343 --> 00:03:53,862

70
00:03:53,862 --> 00:03:54,399

71
00:03:54,399 --> 00:03:54,679

72
00:03:54,679 --> 00:03:54,935

73
00:03:54,935 --> 00:03:55,183

74
00:03:55,183 --> 00:03:55,183
