2 Topic : SERRI - Regional Solutions with National Implications Application to First Responders: State, local and tribal organizations, including the private sector. Engage in research activities for product validation End-users of products Application to Preparedness: Man-made and natural disasters Training, planning, situational awareness, information sharing Casualty prediction, vulnerability assessments, at-risk segments Application to the Southeast: Regional HLS Issues for 9 SE States 8 States of FEMA Region IV (AL, FL, GA, KY, MS, NC, SC, TN) Virginia (FEMA Region II) Homeland Security S&T Summit (SE Region)

5 Preparedness through Modeling/Simulation University of Mississippi - Flood Simulation Model UM has developed a model that can be used to predict risks and vulnerabilities associated with floods caused by breeches in dams and levees The 2-D model represents a technology advancement over 1-D flood simulation models Interest in the model has been expressed by: DHS OIP – Chief of Dams Sector Branch National Geospatial Intelligence Agency Engineering Research and Development Center US Army Corps of Engineers (Vicksburg, MS) USDA National Resources Conservation Services (Little Rock, AK) New York City Office of Emergency Mgmt. NOAA – National Weather Service (NWS)

6 Preparedness through Training – Seed Funding for Critical Infrastructure Protection Center at MSU Establishes MOAs with diverse university-based research centers to provide critical infrastructure training within MS and the southeast region Trained: More than 300 veterinarians in detection of biological pathogens in animals Approximately 50 first responders in basic/advanced disaster life support Nearly 90 teachers in emotional resilience in young children (ages 4, 5, and 6) Approximately 120 attorneys plus IT staff in the use of digital evidence and data forensic More than 100 individuals on how to detect tax evasion and money laundering Uncovered a national level security vulnerability in a vendor’s process control software in its SCADA Lab

7 Preparedness through Situational Awareness – MSU Tracking Barges Carrying Dangerous Cargo Barge tracking is important to national security. MSU is developing a prototype to provide better information on hazardous movements by barges. Prototype will enhance detection of potential threats related to hazardous movements on inland waterways.

9 3 SERRI Projects - Emergency Preparedness and Support for First Responders: Provides Situational Awareness for EOCs in 4 MS Counties Survey of 90 Law Enforcement Agencies in GA, MS, and TN Public-Private Partnerships for Regional Disaster Planning

10 Topic : Southeast Region Research Initiative (SERRI) Summary: SERRI is a HLS program which focuses on regional issues that have national implications. Take-Aways: It leverages public-private partnerships to meet HLS capability gaps. It combines S&T with operational support to develop HLS solutions. It is evolving to be more focused on FEMA requirements for preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience. Homeland Security S&T Summit (SE Region) See our poster session: SERRI See our website:
