DC HSEMA: Synching satellite feeds with real-time visibility of 10 square miles



Leveraging AI Data Lakes for Real-Time Event Management


On May 7, 2021, a Russian hacker group, DarkSide, used a previously compromised password to break into   the servers of Colonial Pipeline, the nation's third-largest oil company, that supplies fuel for roughly half of the East Coast. The attack closed the pipeline and fuel supplies to Washington DC and nearby MD and VA. Colonial paid  $4.4 million in Bitcoins in ransom a few days later.


The AI-driven DC HSEMA headquarters monitored tens of thousands of gas and diesel stations and supply levels; commumity interactions, street cams and satellite feeds to protect agaist panic hoarding or violence.

AI Call Diversion Technology

“In emergency response, AI is not just a tool, but a lifeline. From streamlining non-emergency call triage to enhancing training through virtual scenarios, our use of AI technology is revolutionizing our operations.'

 - Mike Brewer, Deputy Director, Jefferson Co. Colo Emergency Communications

Most Emergency Communications Centers(ECCs) face a spike in non-emergency calls during a natural weather or other emergency event. Some are redundant, some are critical life-and-death calls. AI can help with triage, and caller location identification - top issues for ECCs.


For example, if there is a large wildfire in an area,  there is often a major influx of calls from people reporting smoke or fire. If local authorities are already responding to that incident, an influx of calls can deter resources from addressing other emergencies related, or unrelated to the same event -  like heart attacks, evacuation needs, or downed power lines. AI can be programmed to recognize key words like 'heart attack,' or phrases indicative of repetitive reporting of the same event, and route calls and emergency responders accordingly.
