Day 1 Breakout Report Session 1: Incident Response Chair: Brent Woodsworth Co-Chairs: Ellen Sogolow & Rufus Edwards
Intelligent data, data filtering, and data routing Ability to get the right information to the right responders and adapt to the environment. Intelligence with respect to providing the right data to the right people in the right format, at the right time. Protocols and procedures for deploying the information to the “right responders” Capability to decide to what level information is “useful”? What is the information I need to make decisions. How do we filter out the information and have relevant information. Way to portray information that can be absorbed quickly. Differentiation of information in the types of incidents we are dealing with. Information to consume vs information to push out and reception of information being pushed out (how was it received and interpreted) Can not just rely on the technology. (Technology dependence) Technology needs to be reliable and support the workflow of the individual using it. Need for a “translation phase” that bridges the science-to-practice gap. (Technology transfer) Need for training in appropriate environments. (tabletop exercises, etc) Need the involvement of the communities that allow the process to become more adoptable. Usefulness of the tool to the user. (user-friendly and relevant) Collaborative response. (pre-incident) Ability for communications equipment to match the environments in which they are deployed. Needed Capabilities (Gaps)
Short-term (<3 years) Reaching early adopters – getting good practices and models out there. Building community trust and identifying the roles and responsibilites. Funding How do we achieve resiliency with what we already have? Maximize the resources you have with potentially no increase or decrease even in your budget. Data validity and consistency Long-term (3-5years) Taking those practices and making them policies/standards and conducting the education to implement them. How can the technology help make us more adaptable? Adapting the response. Data governing body to distribute guidelines for entities to record and define their data. (consistency) Challenges
Opportunities • Data sharing is being shared at more levels and between more disciplines than we ever have. • Take advantage of the technology already out there. • Take advantage of the collaboration and cooperation in place and ongoing. • Developing tools that can be used on a daily basis as well as in a major incident/emergency. • Foster the industry/government/academic collaboration (i.e. this workshop concept) • Improving the quality of the existing data and the levels of detail. • UICDS – leveraging systems such as this and other similar existing systems. • Take advantage of the newer social networking tools in a way that can be “trustable” to improve the way traditional EM has disseminated and received data.
Recommendations/Conclusions • Have more venues for industry/academia/government to develop a plan forward (a collaborative piloting tool) • Need executive level and practitioner level sponsor to support to help push the output to become a reality • Piloting a tool while continuing research • Involvement of smaller local jurisdictions in developing system and functional requirements. • Set forth a challenge (incentivize) to support the work of academics and practitioners to develop these community projects. (i.e. DARPA Grand Challenge)
