Command, Control and Coordination for Homeland Security DERIS: Domestic Emergency Response Information Service

Communications in National Emergencies “We need to develop a single-source, protected, web-based integrated information system…and all states need to consider a statewide interoperable communications system. ” - Gilmore Commission, Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response Capabilities for Terrorism Involving Weapons of Mass Destruction “Indeed, an overall Homeland Security strategy of preventing and deterring future attacks, while simultaneously protecting the American people and our critical infrastructure, demands improved communication and sharing of information across the government. ” - Gen Peter Pace, USMC, VCJCS, Homeland Defense testimony before the SASC, Oct 25, 2001 “…If there is a single item that we could do it is make sure that police, fire, and emergency responders can communicate with one another. ” - Joe Allbaugh, Director, FEMA, Testimony to U. S. Senate Committee on Environmental and Public Works, Oct 16, 2001

DERIS Goals Organization A Organization B Ensure timely and accurate information flow vertically and horizontally Provide interoperable, and assured communications with high Quality of Service (Qo. S) among first responders and HLS community LAN A Provide a consistent and useful common operational picture for C 3 of HLS assets Faster, More Informative than CNN! LAN B

Phased Approach Phase I 120 days, Concept Development and Demonstration 90 day – capability demonstration – 3 major cities Phase II 12 months, Refined Engineering and Production IOC of national DERIS capability Phase III 24 months, Oper. Implementation and Support FOC for DERIS Quickly leverage multi-billion dollar commercial government infrastructures, and build advocacy along the way

Ph I – Capability Demonstration (120 Days) Key Objectives: Test the ability of open standard transmission (Internet) and applications to support accurate and timely information flow throughout the distributed HLS Community Assess multiple means of access to alerting and notification, as well as other automated Emergency Response tools Demonstrate measurable Quality of Service (Qo. S) for interoperable and assured communications among HLS responders PH I DEMONSTRATION SITES Demonstrate feasibility of cross-jurisdictional Common Operational Picture (COP) X VIII Demonstrate secure “sensitive but unclass” information flow Los Angeles San Diego IX II Chicago San Francisco Collect workflow process data I V VII Denver Denton New York Washington Kansas City VI Boston Atlanta IV III

The Scenario Phase I – Establishing a Baseline Capability “Distributed tabletop” capability demonstration Single event, terrorist act – one day Affects multiple locations Hazmat railcar explosion Chicago Chlorine gas Potential threat to California San Diego Los Angeles
