How do we support regional disaster response with a reliable, high-visibility command environment?

Featured Project: Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Regional Office XII – Command Center AV Integration

The Challenge

OCD Regional Office XII manages coordination efforts for disaster preparedness and response across the region. Their operations room required an upgrade to improve situational awareness, information sharing, and team coordination during high-pressure events.

The system had to be:

  • Dependable for continuous operation
  • Easy for responders to use under time-sensitive conditions
  • Capable of displaying multiple types of information clearly
  • Supported by an audio and control framework suitable for briefings and coordination meetings

The challenge was to enhance the room’s functionality without compromising the operational security and integrity essential to government response efforts.
