HOSTAGE STANDOFF


"I wanted to thank you again and give you some more feedback. There was a recent situation involving a barricaded suspect about a mile from the campus. As S.W.A.T. teams were called, we used EVE to keep campus security and others, advised of the situation in preparation for lockdown measures if needed. Again, the system's applications allowed us to train for such a case and performed when called upon. X-tier has a 'Winner' here!"

What is EVE eContingency?


EVE eContingency™ is a hosted Web-based Emergency Management Portal for businesses or city, state, and federal entities of any size and is aligned with and supports NIMSrecommendations for the private sector. For large organizations EVE eContingency provides one or many Emergency Managers with the tools necessary to plan, manage, and communicate, critical information from a centralized point during single or multiple emergencies/threats. The system can be operated from local or remote desktops and or laptops using wired, WiFi, or WiMAX connections to the Internet; or for increased power, mobility, and physical security, the system can be accessed and operated from any Apple 3G iPhone using WiFi or AT&T's 3G network!



Current Feature List


  • Supports DHS' NIMS or the Department of Homeland Security's National Incident Management System recommendations for the private sector with reference to operational planning and mass communication of information for various contingencies or crises to First Responders and the general public.


  • Supports Interntional (Global) Use and tracking of employees, staff, students, expats, through the system's Passport Manager.


  • Supports One-click Mass or Filtered Alert Generation via the system's proprietary semantic threat identification panel within the Situation Notification Manager.


  • Supports Emergency RSS and CAP feed intakes for the publishing of alerts from local, state, and or national agencies such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for biological outbreak alerts, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for severe weather alerting, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) for seismic alerting, and any other organization publishing alerts using Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) or Really Simple Syndication (RSS) formatted information.


  • Beyond Notification...Complete Communication! Once notifications are sent from the system, recipients can respond directly via their mobile devices or email to the system. Incoming responses can then be analyzed, actions initiated and or adjusted to situational information; including message assignment to specific incidents making them a matter of record thereby providing complete two-way traceability. Outgoing communications can be sent as a mass notifications or specifically targeted to private contacts or narrowed even further by area code, zip code, or area code and exchange number (first six numbers).


  • iPhone/iTouch/iPad Power! The system can be operated from Apple's 3G iPhone. No lugging a laptop around while on scene or during an evacuation! This powerful feature extends the system's flexibility to this mobile device allowing you to take EVE eContingency™ with you whether in a local/remote command center or in the field!


  • Chronological (Blotter-based) Traceability & Reporting! All notifications are logged in a law enforcement style blotter format allowing for a chronological view from the time an incident is initiated to its completion. This provides an accounting of messages sent and received, methods of distribution, forms of distribution, distribution recipients, date and time of distribution, and distribution source for complete traceability and legal considerations.


  • Real-time Communication! Updates to situational information can be sent and received in real-time from the system as well as posted in the system's Emergency Message Center (public). Notifications are sent via three channels: text to mobile devices, email, and the Web (available via the Emergency Message Center).


  • Centralization of Information - Checklists, Plans, Tasks, Training Management & More! EVE eContingency™ is well beyond just a communications system. With supporting applications like document, media, task, event, time managers and more, EVE eContingency™ is provides a centralized 24/7 portal from which to access information. The document center and system file manager allows public and private access to and distribution of critical checklists, plans, guides, manuals, pamphlets, video, audio, images, procedures, and more in the planning and training for a crisis as well as during an actual event.


  • A Host of Operational Support Applications! EVE eContingency™ supports a host of ancillary support applications such as the Public/Private Events Publisher, System Content Manager, Julian Time Calculator, Time Tracker (Timesheets), Public and Private Contact and List Managers, Task Manager, P.O. Manger, a Web Forum and others, which can be used to support day-today operations, planning, and training efforts.


  • System Send Mail! Users of the system can use the system's send mail feature to contact Emergency/Crisis Administrators if they do not have access to a mobile phone or email account.


  • Facilities Inventory! EVE eContingency™ allows each building to be cataloged to an infinite degree of detail; e.g. exits, fire suppression locations, room contents, floor plans, elevation, chemical hazards, physical hazards, special characteristics.


  • Geographic Separation/Redundancy! Because the system is Web-based and therefore accessed via the Internet, the system is geographically separated from the point-of-use or origin. This allows for increased operational availability and integrity of information command and control.


  • Increases Efficiency & Reduces Time! Faster access to information and the ability to quickly adjust actions in concert with incoming real-time intelligence helps reduce the loss of life and property while reducing recovery time.


  • Point N Click Operation! Intuitive and easy to use point and click operation.


  • Security Hardened! For cybersecurity the system has an integrated security engine called EVE Intercept™ (patent pending) for examining actions on the system to increase data privacy and security. Intercept autonomously monitors and intercepts hacking exploits, suspect Internet requests, attempted tampering, and provides automated countermeasures while alerting system administrators to any attempt to compromise the system's integrity. With an automated defensive tempo EVE Intercept™ (patent pending) scales up and down autonomously with hostile or unauthorized attempts to access the system.


  • Budget Centric! The system begins at $15,000 a year depending on configuration. For smaller businesses such as Child Care and Child Learning Centers organizations the price is substantially less.


  • Already Proven! The system is deployed in higher education institutions, home communities, and businesses and as such has been used during both nature and human initiated events and performed flawlessly.


  • No Software to Load or Maintain or Special Equipment to Purchase! EVE eContingency™ is Web-based and is therefore does not run on a local computing platform. The system is updated automatically ensuring a cost effective and legacy resistant solution.


  • Telepresence! TOADs are coming! Currently in development are EVE eContingency™ Telepresence Operational Adjuvant Devices or TOADs. These highly economical indoor robots will stream sight and sound back to the system via WiFi and can be used to support tactical or strategic operations where the threat potential to human life is high such as chemical spills or a facility lockdown.


  • Predictive Threat Analysis! Using FBI compiled data this feature currently in development will allow risk assessment as an analysis measure to predict levels of threat risk.
