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.
The AVLS Solution
AVLS designed and installed a streamlined audiovisual environment that strengthens OCD XII’s ability to visualize information, conduct briefings, and manage operational workflows — all while observing strict security and confidentiality standards.
Enhanced Visual Monitoring
A professional-grade display wall allows responders to view critical updates, maps, and information sources in a clear, consolidated format. The system supports flexible layouts, helping the team adapt to rapidly changing situations.
Unified Audio for Briefings & Discussions
A calibrated audio setup provides clear sound reinforcement during meetings, command updates, and coordination activities — improving communication across the room.
Centralized and Simplified Control
A secure, user-friendly control interface streamlines how operators manage the system. With one interface, responders can adjust layouts, switch information sources, and coordinate briefings more efficiently.
Integrated Infrastructure
AVLS provided a clean and organized backend infrastructure including mounting, cabling, power management, and essential connectivity. All work followed proper documentation and government standards for system integration.
Professional Deployment & Training
AVLS completed the installation with full testing, handover, and orientation for designated personnel, ensuring the system is practical, dependable, and easy to operate.
Outcome
The upgraded operations room now supports:
- Improved visibility of mission-critical information
- More effective communication during planning and response
- Faster coordination during emergency situations
- A modernized environment suited for both daily operations and crisis events
The system enhances OCD XII’s ability to respond to regional challenges without revealing or modifying any of their internal processes or security framewor
By delivering a secure, reliable, and purpose-built AV environment, AVLS helped reinforce OCD XII’s commitment to disaster preparedness and public safety. The installation improves their operational efficiency while maintaining the confidentiality and integrity expected of a government command facility.
