S&T's Homeland Explosive
Consequence and Threat (HExCAT)


2
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:09,709
tool helps leaders plan for
potential explosive attacks

3
00:00:09,709 --> 00:00:12,012
in public spaces and at large
events.

4
00:00:12,512 --> 00:00:15,849
HExCAT estimates explosive
hazard and calculates potential

5
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:18,651
impacts, so agencies can better
prepare emergency

6
00:00:18,651 --> 00:00:21,021
response plans.

7
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:24,791
HExCAT scenarios could be run
before inaugurations, large

8
00:00:24,824 --> 00:00:27,293
demonstrations, parades, or
even 4th of July fireworks to

9
00:00:27,293 --> 00:00:30,163
inform security measures and
medical response strategies. 

10
00:00:30,897 --> 00:00:34,100
HExCAT can simulate city layouts
and buildings to model potential 

11
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:37,203
impact and determine medical
response according

12
00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:40,106
to local capabilities.

13
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:43,576
The tool has a library of
military and homemade explosives

14
00:00:43,576 --> 00:00:46,246
and can model different
scenarios based on a variety

15
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:48,948
of indoor and outdoor public
spaces.

16
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:52,285
HExCAT can also help plan for
necessary medical responses,

17
00:00:52,285 --> 00:00:55,288
including on-site response,
transportation to hospitals,

18
00:00:55,288 --> 00:00:58,558
and application of life-saving
treatments. 

19
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:01,428
HExCAT is also a great tool
for leaders it helps them make

20
00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:03,830
strategic decisions and identify
chokepoints BEFORE a crisis

21
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:05,498
happens.
