Protecting infrastructure and key resources are vital. CommandBridge is a suite of web-based solutions that facilitates the collection, integration and sharing of detailed information about specified infrastructure assets that will in turn protect lives and property, maintain order, speed up recovery of essential services, and avoid cascading disruption of other infrastructure and key resources.
The Problem
The federal government simply cannot protect all critical infrastructures in an open society. It’s a problem that challenges security sentinels. That is why infrastructure protection best occurs in communities, cities, states, and regions where it can better deter, mitigate, or neutralize potential attacks. Moreover, arming first responders with comprehensive information lessens the impact of critical incidents requiring swift, decisive action. But only if they have the information!
The Solution
CommandBridge – a suite of web-based services – provides that information and it better positions you to respond effectively and efficiently. It expedites the collection, integration, and sharing of information concerning specified infrastructure assets. This detailed information protects lives and property, maintains order, speeds recovery of essential services, and avoids cascading disruption of other infrastructure and key resources.
The Capabilities
Included in the implementation of a CommandBridge system is a repository of specified assets including:
- Land-Based And Aerial Photographs
- Blueprints
- Entry/Exit Locations
- Facility Contacts
- HAZMAT locations
- Threat Profiles
- Facility Fire
- Security And Other Asset Protection Technology
- Construction Type
- Facility Size
- Water Supplies
- Onsite Emergency Resources And Other Vital Information
Within this repository, automation-enabled standard operating procedures (SOPs) and emergency plans can generate tasking assignments and alerts to specified individuals. These functions can be used for live situation awareness and response management, and for testing and operational exercise plans. Content can be shared with key stakeholders: law enforcement, fire departments, EMS, and pertinent state and federal agencies on an as needed or scheduled basis.
