SAMPLE CASE STUDIES & INNOVATIONS
Community Vulnerability and HAzard Risk modeling
ISC Creates Sophisticated Community Vulnerability & Risk Models
ISC has recognized expertise in conducting risk assessments and vulnerability analyses. Using proven risk assessment methodologies supported by research and lessons-learned, ISC assists clients in the development of reputable models and processes for collecting and analyzing information on individual risks to communities. A community’s hazard risk, vulnerability, and capability assessments are critical documents that define a community’s strategic common operational picture to mitigate, as well as prepare, protect, respond, and recover from emergencies and disasters; and serve as the foundation for other emergency management related initiatives and create increased programmatic efficiencies. For this reason, ISC values a rigorous approach to vulnerability analysis and risk assessments, which serves as the basis for promoting critical aspects of a client’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Program (CEMP).
|
Integrated Solutions Consulting (ISC) has long recognized the value of creating reliable, evidence-based hazard risk models to help inform preparedness efforts and ensure effective decision-making for public safety professionals. For this reason, we have committed substantial resources to develop evidence-based innovations that will improve our hazard risk mapping and analysis capabilities. Our commitment is best demonstrated by our Community Vulnerability, Risk, & Resiliency (CVR2) model which serves as a dynamic planning and GIS mapping tool that utilizes a robust library of over 4,500 evidence-based indicators and measurements to accurately assess, analyze, and report community hazard risks and threats.

interactive Scenario simulation
ISC Develops Exercise Simulation of Active Shooter Scenario
|
Recognizing the growing need for a coordinated strategy for active shooter incident, ISC was selected by Oakland County Michigan to develop an interactive exercise simulation and accompanying computer-based training programs that will provide fire departments, law enforcement agencies and emergency medical service responders with basic training on the tactical issues and concepts of victim care after an “active shooter” incident. ISC used professional film crews to develop client-customized, interactive media that not only enhances the learning experience, but also utilizes adult learning techniques designed to increase knowledge retention. Utilizing the learning management system provided by the Odysseus™ Enterprise System, ISC was able to train over 3,000 first responders in just a few months.

Hazard simulations
ISC Develops Realistic Hazard Simulations with Special Effects
|
In preparation of the upcoming hurricane season, Integrated Solutions Consulting developed and produced an educational All-Hazards Preparedness Video in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole. In coordination with the Office of Emergency Management, ISC reviewed existing material and prepared a public service announcement on natural and man-made disasters, planning, evacuation, sheltering and emergency supply kits. Special effects were used to create the illusion of an impending category 5 hurricane and aerial drone videography was provided to offer viewers a new perspective on preparedness.

social behavior modeling
ISC Uses Scientific Methods to Model Social Behaviors
|
Being able to model the social dynamics of your community and the behavior tendencies of residents and community groups can provide valuable data to make informed and reliable decisions. Our team of social researchers and GIS analysts are experts in applying scientific methods and statistical machine learning to accurately model social behaviors. Our scientists are seasoned in systematically analyzing the trove of information provided in these models and presenting this information in easy to interpret charts, diagrams, maps, and interactive analytics for decision-makers. From modeling community volunteerism to evacuation order behaviors, ISC provides clients with social behavior models that provide invaluable information.

hazard impact and consequence modeling
ISC Creates Cutting-Edge Technology to Model Disaster Impacts
|
The disaster and emergency management community have recognize the value of thoroughly understanding the potential impact of different disaster types and incorporating this knowledge into a community's strategy to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate for disaster. In fact, past scientific studies have demonstrated that disasters are social constructs and that large-scale hazard events exacerbate the preexisting conditions of the community and as a result have a cascading impact on a community and its residents, essential services, and critical assets. By thoroughly understanding a community’s pre-disaster vulnerabilities and their relation to its hazard threats, the public safety and emergency management community can be provided with more accurate and reliable detail about the potential impacts of various hazard threats.
|
|
Utilizing the 4,500 evidence-based indicators and measurements of community vulnerability and hazard risk provided in the Community Vulnerability, Risk, & Resiliency (CVR2) tool, our team of disaster researchers and analysts are able to model the hazard impacts and consequences of various hazard scenarios relative to the subject community's vulnerabilities, capabilities, and capacities. The result is a thorough and reliable hazard impact and consequence model that provides disaster and emergency management officials vital information to develop effective pre- and post-disaster strategies.
Epidemiological modeling
ISC Uses Research Methods to Create Epidemiological Models
|
Our team of public health researchers, epidemiologist, and analysts at Integrated Solutions Consulting have have extensive experience in systematically creating, manipulating and analyzing large complex data sets. We are seasoned in applying quantitative methods to systematically analyze the data, interpret the information that is discovered, and present the findings in an meaningful and easy to interpret manner. To ensure validity, the ISC team uses defined sampling strategies and statistical methodologies to systematically analyze the data to ensure precision and validity of the discoveries.
