The Critical Incident Response Toolset (CIRT) allows first responders and subsequent emergency personnel to manage operations by having various types of critical information at their fingertips, including building floor plans/schematics, specific images related to a facility or site, incident command protocols and other critical response data.
On August 23 in the Mt. Pleasant suburb of Charleston, law enforcement agencies, fire and rescue teams, HAZMAT teams, SWAT teams EMS personnel, and county planners will conduct a live demonstration and evaluation of best practices and technology solutions that assist first responders during emergencies.
The event, which will be conducted at a Charleston area middle school, will include several problem-solving scenarios, which will allow first responders to test every aspect of the currently developed solution. Lessons learned will then provide a basis for fine tuning the solution as well as laying the foundation for building in additional technologies to the CIRT that will aid the mobile first responder in crisis events, as well as in their day-to-day operations.
