ETC Simulation Awarded Contract to Deliver Disaster Management Simulator to Hong Kong Fire Service
ADMS-COMMAND at Second Major Asian Fire Services Institution
Orlando, FL
November 2, 2007
Environmental Tectonics Corporation's
(AMEX:ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company")
Simulation Division today announced the
signing of a contract with the Hong Kong Fire
Services Department (HKFSD) to deliver a
multi-station ADMS-COMMAND, the
next-generation Advanced Disaster Management
Simulator training system. The contract
includes three open-ended, dynamic scenarios
within a regionalized virtual environment.
The scenarios include a multi-vehicle highway
traffic accident, a B-747 crash-landed in a
residential area and a high-rise apartment
building fire. The scenarios can be changed
to fit various training objectives. The
system will also include regionalized
response vehicles. The HKFSD employs a force
of over 9,000 firefighters who serve one of
the most densely populated urban areas in the
world. To be delivered by the end of the
year, HKFSD's ADMS system will allow
responders to train safely and realistically.
ADMS President, Marco van Wijngaarden
commented, "We are proud to be working with
the Hong Kong Fire Services Department. This
order marks the second ADMS system to be
purchased by a world-class Asian fire
services institution, following the delivery
of a large ADMS-COMMAND system to the South
Korean National Fire Service Academy last
year. ETC looks forward to working with HKFSD
for years to come."
About ADMS, the Advanced Disaster Management Simulator
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 table-top
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.
