SOUTHAMPTON, Pa. -- Environmental Tectonics Corporation's Simulation Division today announced the signing of a contract with North Carolina's Brunswick County Emergency Services to deliver a multi-station ADMS-COMMAND, Advanced Disaster Management Simulator training system.
The contract includes a turnkey, multi-discipline, portable team-training system with a customized library of training scenarios. Brunswick County Emergency Services, who used FEMA's Port Security Grant Program funds to purchase ADMS, will take delivery in October and plan to use the system to train the region's law enforcement, fire rescue services, emergency medical services and port security personnel in coordinated disaster response exercises.
Randy Thompson, Brunswick County's Director of Emergency Services said, "The Port Security Grant program has provided us a tremendous opportunity to benefit from this technology, one that's being used by the finest emergency training institutes around the world. No other company has produced a system at this caliber, and we look forward to enhancing our training program and overall level of preparedness, both at the local and regional levels."
ADMS-COMMAND is a high fidelity training simulator that offers a proven methodology to provide cost-effective synthetic incident and disaster management experience.

By presenting engaging, real-world environments and stressful scenarios, ADMS enables response and rescue personnel to perform and enhance team and individual skill sets at all levels of response.
