SAR Technology: 'Incident Commander Pro' Software

Managing the Response to a Volcanic Ash Cloud

  Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull volcano wreaked havoc on Europe's airlines as it's ash cloud drifted over Northern Europe.

The eruption of a dormant volcano, with the generation of a major volcanic ash cloud, can play havoc with regional aircraft flights, air quality and have a major impact on the local transportation and accommodation facilities.

As the ash cloud drifted across cities, countryside, water bodies and highways additional health and safety concerns were raised, with the potential of highway closures, water quality impairment and an increased demand for hospital services, to treat respiratory problems.

To respond quickly to the drifting ash cloud ‘Incident Commander Pro’ can rapidly generate status maps of  the ash cloud's progression and prepare emergency Aviation Alerts, Public Health Bulletins and Evacuation Plans.

As thousands of flights were cancelled ‘Incident Commander Pro’ can be used to develop maps of threatened regions, activate public shelter plans, identify critical infrastructure, such as water reservoirs, and recommend alternate transportation routes for stranded travelers. 

 In the event of major dust clouds falling over populated areas ‘Incident Commander Pro’ can also be used to prepare a Mass Casualty Incident Plans and Evacuation Plan for the affected regions.

   ‘Incident Commander Pro’ has all the tools to plan, brief, monitor and respond to a major ash-cloud incident.
These unique capabilities permit local authorities to provide a rapid and comprehensive public safety incident  response plan.
