Disaster preparedness requires seamless communication for decision-makers to stay one step ahead of the crisis. Calit2@UCI has built a test bed that allows industry partners and crisis responders to refine their software and hardware technologies.

Join us March 1, 2007 to:

• Learn about this new proving ground for emerging research innovations;
• See demonstrations of the Evac-Pack, mobile sensing platforms, people counters and other technological prototypes;
• Discover opportunities for collaboration and product investment.

When Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger delivered his annual State of the State address for 2007, he reiterated the need to invest in disaster preparedness, including threats to public health. Coordination between the state agencies with specific emergency preparedness and response roles is critical to improving California's ability to respond to an emergency. The Governor asked legislators to join him in tackling some of California's most pressing challenges and at the top of his list was disaster response technology.

Researchers at Calit2@UCI are already one step ahead of the crisis. They are partnering with industry, first-responders and government agencies to develop smart spaces that utilize innovative technologies and offer interoperability solutions.
