Technology for Crisis Management – An Ever Present Need
Recent Events
Events over the last few years, including the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, the London 2005
Bombings, Hurricane Katrina and the Buncefield Oil Depot explosion have bought Crisis Management into
the limelight. Effective crisis management and response can minimise the effects of an incident, save lives,
prevent further damage and facilitate a speedy return to normality.
Application of Cutting Edge Technology
TRT (UK) is developing technologies aimed at
assisting those involved in managing crises
and other emergencies. The main area under
development is decision-enabling technology
for incident command and control. This is
supported by technologies for visualisation,
communications, security, information
management and situation monitoring, areas
in which TRT (UK) has extensive experience.
The application of such technologies will result
in the faster provision of better, accurate
intelligence to the decision makers, thus
facilitating an improved incident response. In
addition to the real-time data processing, large
amounts of recorded data and intelligence can
be more easily managed through the use of
intelligent data management and analysis
tools, for use in pre-incident preparations and
post-incident investigations.
