 Chicago Launches Extensive Video Surveillance System Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) will implement an advanced citywide intelligent security system as part of Chicago's Operation Virtual Shield Blind PreparationIf a family enters an emergency room with inflamed lesions covering their bodies, accompanied by fevers and debilitating weakness - symptoms of a chemical or biological attack - the admitting hospital should know who to call and how to treat each family member. That wouldn't always happen, however. Almost six years after 9/11 - after spending billions of tax dollars on disaster preparedness - many cities remain unprepared to respond to a biological or chemical attack, according to several leaders in the public health community. A lack of coherent national policy on biological and chemical weapons preparedness has produced a hodgepodge of ineffective initiatives at the local level, according to critics. Yet others say national standards frequently are ineffective at dictating local issues.

Records & Evidence: Keeping what you have and getting what you need Creating and retaining records is not easy under the best of circumstances, emergency conditions add new dimensions of difficulty and meeting these requirements without advance preparation is all but impossible. The requirements for retention of records are often ignored in information system design and implementation. New evidentiary requirements will make this a disastrously expensive omission. Preparing to meet records requirements in emergency or disaster scenarios will make for a more robust, flexible and capable infrastructure better able to meet ordinary operational needs. Records managers and emergency responders must prepare and agree on how mobile or temporary records can be created, sufficiently secured and reintegrated into existing records management schemes.
