Mr. McGinnis of the National Association of State Emergency Medical Services Officials presented on Public Safety Integration at the Georgia ITS. He specifically discussed the integration of new communication technology to enhance access to the information required for appropriate emergency patient care and transportation. This concept and technology is of interest to implement in the state of Georgia and is the first of its kind to improve congestion and incident management.
Based upon his experience in New York on September 11, 2001, Mr. Wolff of the New York City Police Department shared lessons learned from Traffic Incident Management (TIM). He provided key insight into the TIM issues and lessons learned from the management of this catastrophic event.
