Medical and Pharmaceutical Donations Committed to Clinics
Direct Relief International Direct Relief International provides donated medical and pharmaceutical supplies to underserved clinics. Shown here is the DRI viewer that illustrates incidents that DRI has consumed from UICDS and supplies that DRI has provided to clinics in the disaster area. DRI identified needed supplies from UICDS incidents and then staged a response using their SAP logistics system, ArcGIS, and their own version of the ESRI Flex Viewer. |

IMDSS Uses UICDS for National Awareness, Local Response
UICDS Incidents Supplemented by Mobile Applications
As part of NLE11 the City of Murray, the Murray State University Police, the Murray Fire Department, the Calloway County Fire department, and the County EMS all coordinated together in a live exercise to simulate a dormitory collapse and subsequent fire on the campus of Murray State University. Shown here is ElanTech's IMDSS consuming UICDS incidents and other important information in preparation for deploying mobile units to the field as shown to the right. |

Blue Force Tracking
Dragon Force from Drakontas
In the NLE 11 exercise, tactical response was of considerable importance. Dragon Force simulated Blue Force Tracking for multiple incidents. Here you see Dragon Force monitoring incidents through UICDS. When an ammonia spill occurred, Dragon Force was able to share the location of police vehicles to other applications through UICDS to enable critical decisions to be made by combining other application data, such as the spill model shown to the right. |

Benzene Release Shared Through UICDS ... From a Point to Analysis
Incident Sharing Turns Dot on a Map to Modeling for Action
Reports came from many locations and many applications during NLE 11. One way to keep informed was through UICDS in the Cloud, gathering information from UICDS Pilots and Technology Providers simulating a major response. Here you see a toxic Benzene spill into the Ohio River is shared among all applications through UICDS enabling other applications - like the ICWater model described on the right - to contribute to building more knowledge about the incident to aid response. |

Alerts Become Shared Incidents
ARDEC CAP Alerts into UICDS
 The U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) employed numerous tools using the Common Alerting Protocol to form NLE 11 alerts. From multiple sources including NC4s External Situational Awareness tool, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, as well as the CAP message tool shown here, ARDEC both shared CAP alerts through UICDS and evaluated significant CAP alerts into UICDS incidents that were then shared among other pilots sites. |

Mobile Phone Damage Photos Shared Through UICDS
IMDSS from ElanTech
Spot reports with images from the Murray State dormitory collapse and the associated response activities were successfully captured by IMDSSMobile and shared via UICDS to wider NLE audiences to augment the common operational picture. Shown is a mobile phone photo shared from IMDSS through UICDS to an ESRI Flex Viewer, among other applications that can view these photos. |
ALOHA Model and Blue Force Tracking
Location Updates Through UICDS
Using Open Geospatial Consortium data standards, UICDS is able to consume the results of models, in this case, EPA's ALOHA airborne dispersion model as configured in the Consequence Assessment Tool Set (CATS). Sharing this information with the Dragon Force Blue Force Tracking application allows managers to position forces so that they avoid the toxic hazard and most effectively control the scene and protect people, as see here using Google Earth to view the UICDS data. |
ICWater Provides Model from Benzene Spill Incident in UICDS
More than a location, Model Provides Valuable Response Guidance  The value of UICDS is seen especially in the accumulation of related information from other applications to improve understanding of the situation. For some, the benzene spill was a point on a map. But for the river spill model, ICWater, the downstream effects are critical and as seen here, easily visualized with data shared through UICDS. This same spill map becomes available to other applications preparing for the spill response leading each to use common data from UICDS to visualize in whatever application an agency decides is best for them. |
