00:03.840 --> 00:06.007
Oh , hi . If you get your updates from

00:06.007 --> 00:07.840
one of these , you know how fast

00:07.840 --> 00:10.170
information flows for first responders .

00:10.180 --> 00:12.347
Quick access to that information could

00:12.347 --> 00:14.370
save lives . How NATO

00:14.370 --> 00:17.760
science

00:24.250 --> 00:28.070
emergencies don't respect borders . So

00:28.070 --> 00:29.737
when first responders need to

00:29.737 --> 00:31.570
communicate across countries and

00:31.570 --> 00:33.514
organizations , they need a simple

00:33.514 --> 00:35.292
system that works quickly . Our

00:35.292 --> 00:37.348
scientists have come up with a handy

00:37.420 --> 00:38.060
solution .

00:42.040 --> 00:43.040
The

00:43.040 --> 00:46.850
theme of the

00:46.860 --> 00:49.110
fundamental problems of any kind of

00:49.110 --> 00:52.030
disaster response far fighting , floods ,

00:52.040 --> 00:54.780
earthquakes is that many organizations

00:54.780 --> 00:56.947
come together that normally don't work

00:56.947 --> 00:59.020
together , so they don't always know

00:59.020 --> 01:03.000
how to communicate or collaborate . We

01:03.000 --> 01:05.160
developed a software platform where

01:05.170 --> 01:08.110
everybody can join together and develop

01:08.110 --> 01:10.340
ways to share information that they

01:10.350 --> 01:13.360
normally don't know how to share maps ,

01:13.370 --> 01:17.090
videos , pictures all in real time . We

01:17.090 --> 01:19.190
call it the next generation Incident

01:19.190 --> 01:21.670
Command system or Knicks for short ,

01:21.680 --> 01:24.680
snappy name . But how does it work ? At

01:24.680 --> 01:26.902
the court of Nick's is the incident map

01:26.902 --> 01:29.390
that displays key information such as

01:29.400 --> 01:32.310
incident perimeters , evacuation zones ,

01:32.430 --> 01:34.730
weather conditions , responder

01:34.730 --> 01:36.950
locations and images from the scene .

01:37.770 --> 01:39.990
Emergency personnel upload the content

01:40.000 --> 01:42.000
directly , using either a Web based

01:42.000 --> 01:44.111
system or a mobile app . There's even

01:44.111 --> 01:46.333
online spaces where responders can chat

01:46.333 --> 01:48.870
with each other in real time . The

01:48.870 --> 01:51.092
system has been successfully put to use

01:51.092 --> 01:53.092
in the United States , including to

01:53.092 --> 01:55.148
help fight wildfires in California ,

01:55.840 --> 01:57.729
and has been adopted by emergency

01:57.729 --> 01:59.896
services in the state of Victoria . In

01:59.896 --> 02:02.120
Australia , where it has helped more

02:02.120 --> 02:05.180
than 1000 firefighters battle over 50

02:05.180 --> 02:08.150
bushfires with support from the NATO

02:08.150 --> 02:10.470
Science for Peace and Security program ,

02:11.640 --> 02:13.830
we're introducing the platform in the

02:13.830 --> 02:16.840
western Balkans to support regional

02:16.840 --> 02:18.910
responses to man made and natural

02:18.910 --> 02:21.210
disasters . We recently tested the

02:21.210 --> 02:23.720
system in Montenegro during a NATO

02:23.720 --> 02:26.170
exercise that simulated an

02:26.180 --> 02:28.870
international response toe . Wildfires

02:29.240 --> 02:32.470
involving more than 251st responders

02:32.560 --> 02:35.660
and experts hazards are Onley

02:35.660 --> 02:38.290
disasters . If there's insufficient

02:38.290 --> 02:41.180
preparation and communication , Knicks

02:41.180 --> 02:43.236
goes one step further to helping our

02:43.236 --> 02:45.236
first responders better protect our

02:45.236 --> 02:47.830
populations . Next episode will take

02:47.830 --> 02:49.890
you to Ankara in Turkey to learn how

02:49.900 --> 02:52.067
games are helping NATO tackle the next

02:52.067 --> 02:54.460
generation of security threats . Check
