object of the system will assist hospitals to staff emergency departments in response to predicted volumes deploy ambulances to locations of greatest need and send law enforcement officers to areas of greatest potential yield as a result of simulations embedded in the system which predict such variables as crowd behavior disease distribution plume dispersion in the case of a suspected airborne release of a bio agent and traffic flow the system provides each class of end user with context sensitive advisories as how best to respond to a specific bio challenge for example in a scenario similar to the anthrax attacks in late 2001 the system would advise postal workers on how best to contain cutaneous and aerosolized anthrax also the system would show maps of mail carrier routes superimposed upon the overall map of the affected area to aid in rapid identification testing and prophylaxis of affected individuals in the case of a building contaminated with anthrax an operator will quickly obtain and incorporate engineering data into the system and run simulations to guide decontamination workers in the most effective approaches to employ biosensors would be positioned and linked to the system to help monitor ventilation patterns in the buildings the system measures and monitors compliance with recommended best practice protocols by end users regardless of location for example hazmat workers will report on their compliance in the field using wireless palm units situation incident commanders will check off compliance against items in a pop up window that hovers near the incident being addressed this feature benefits both responders and the community by providing a real time assessment of compliance and its impact on outcomes critical to success in dealing with a bio attack is the ability to coordinate efforts in.
