How Can the “Always-On” Internet Enhance Capabilities for Homeland Security?
• Three Tier System– Wireless SensorNets Brings Data to Repositories– Collaborative Crisis Management Data Centers– Remote Wireless Devices Interrogate Databases
The “Always-On” Internet Can Be of Use in Three Stages of an Emergency
• Early Warning SensorNets– Detecting Bio/Chem/Nuclear Agents Directly
• Biosurveillance– Identifying Common Symptoms Earlier
• Emergency Response– Supporting First Responders in an Emergency
