Together with NASA Research Park partner IntraPoint ant the Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley (CMUSV), the Moffett Field, California-based NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) has developed a number of new technologies meant to aid disaster management.

A demonstration of some of the new technologies will be made this Friday, October 28, at ARC. Media representatives are invited to attend the event, which will take place between 12 pm and 2 pm PDT (1900 and 2000 GMT), at the Moffett Field installation.

“It is very exciting to collaborate with NASA Ames Research Center and Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley as we expand our technical solutions that will improve our customers’ capabilities to handle unexpected incidents,” IntraPoint chairman of the board Yngvar Duesund says.

“Our research and recent workshop highlights the key challenge of improving communications and data interoperability for better disaster response,” CMUSV and Disaster Management Initiative director Martin Griss explains.
