Orlando, FL May 5, 2008 Southampton, PA. May 5, 2008. Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (AMEX:ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division today announced the signing of a contract with the Netherlands Institute for Safety (NIFV, formerly known as NIBRA), for the development of an urban disaster area scenario for their Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS).

The scenario presents the aftermath of an ammunition train explosion in the Netherland's city of Arnhem. The main training objective for this scenario is command and coordination of large-scale fire and rescue operations. This scenario will be used to enhance a proven case-study scenario that has been used by the Fire Academy for training senior fire officers. Previously, the case study included a classroom briefing after which students were required to actually drive through the city of Arnhem to imagine and assess the fictitious 'affected' area. The new ADMS scenario will visually and mathematically simulate the catastrophe to enhance the level of realism. ETC will model a part of the city including destroyed buildings, debris, widespread multiple fires and casualties.

NIFV is the Netherlands national center of expertise with four Academies: Fire Academy, Academy for Crisis Management, Emergency Medical Service Academy and Academy for Leadership, and also delivers ADMS-training to the Police Academy. NIFV has used ADMS for over six years for training, education and research. NIFV frequently upgrades and expands their ADMS systems to maintain and evolve their state-of-the-art training offerings. Since 2001 NIFV has trained thousands of trainees with their NIFV-ADMS team training systems, focusing on multi-agency command and control.

Simulation Division President, Marco van Wijngaarden, commented, "We are pleased to deliver this new large-scale exercise scenario to NIFV. I am looking forward to see the effect of ADMS improving the training value and level of immersion for the students. This is an ideal example how classroom instruction can be blended with simulation and live experience, producing well-rounded and properly prepared first responders. This order again confirms the value of ADMS simulation for NIFV, and the way it can fit into any curriculum. With this scenario, NIFV will now have over 30 scenarios available".

ADMS is a high fidelity interactive team training simulation platform that offers a proven methodology to provide operationally cost-effective synthetic incident and disaster management experience. Since 1995 it has been used to train emergency responders around the world to better prepare to respond to and mitigate incidents. By presenting engaging, real-world environments and stressful scenarios, ADMS enables response and rescue personnel to perform and enhance team and individual skill sets at all levels of response. ADMS bridges the gap between tabletop exercises and real world experience, and rapidly advances the effective coordinated response of multi- agency and multi-jurisdictional emergency responders during any type of disaster. ADMS is also used to test and validate emergency response and management plans. Training with ADMS helps to save lives and mitigate disaster's impact.
