1. Stakeholder Meeting July 11, 2012 MSHA Headquarters Arlington, VA New Technologies For Mine Rescue

2. Command Center Central work location for primary decision-makers Data from several sources are collected and displayed on computers and on large-screen TVs Provides real-time information for Command Center (MSHA, Mining Company, State, Union) Electronic log

3. Sources of Information Include: FAB, Toughbook Chromatograph Lab Communications Vehicle Permissible Mine Rescue Robot Ventilation Monitoring Vehicle Engineering Trailer Mine Office (drilling log, fan readings, etc.)

4. Advanced Mine Rescue Communications New Technology will: – Provide direct two-way communications from exploring MR teams to the Command Center – Allow rapid exploration of multiple entries simultaneously – Allow gas readings and IP camera video to be transmitted directly to the Command Center

5. Toughbooks Will improve communications between FAB and Command Center providing instantaneous mapping information. Will improve tracking of mine rescue teams Will improve briefings/debriefings for backup teams and Command Center, and make change-outs faster
