Managing any natural or deliberate disaster—particularly a bio-weapons attack—can be very complex, requiring incident managers to process multiple types of information simultaneously in order to make effective decisions. Significantly improved disaster management tools are needed, particularly to support first responders and clinicians who provide immediate assistance to those who have fallen ill.

CTS is experienced with crisis management systems such as the Enhanced Consequence Management Planning and Support System (ENCOMPASS)— which is an integrated suite of software tools that promises to have significant impact on our national security, using web-based and standalone software to collect and distribute dynamic data to and from multiple sources in near real time. CTS can assist with ensuring the information flow to the Incident Commander at various levels, including the first responder, scene commander, operations center, and/or state/national emergency centers.
