| Environmental Tectonics Corporation's Simulation Division Acknowledges National Preparedness Month By Using Latest Technology To Prepare First Responders |
| Southampton, PA, August 26, 2009. Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (OTC Bulletin Board: ETCC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, located in Orlando, FL, today announced they will hold an open house which will include a free day of training to local first responders on the Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS). In support of President Obama's proclamation of September as National Preparedness Month, ETC Simulation plans to contribute back to the community and honor our country's progress in preparing for and mitigating potential disasters. Wednesday, September 30th 2009, from 10AM – 4PM, ETC Simulation will open their doors to local responders and host a full day of training with ADMS, utilizing their simulation theatre which includes a 180 degree immersive theatre-like screen and high fidelity sound system. This training session will allow the local responders the opportunity to use high end simulation in place of their typical table top training. ADMS is a virtual reality simulation training stage that provides a true-to-life experience for first responders to train, assess and exercise Incident Command and vehicle operation. ADMS simulates emergencies, disasters and other events for which live training is not feasible. ADMS based training allows for a high level of proficiency to be achieved in a relatively short time, is easy to prepare, and is a green solution. Since ADMS training is accomplished in the classroom without requiring additional assets (e.g., fire and emergency vehicles, etc.), the training extends the useful life of resource equipment and can be done at a fraction of the cost of live training. ADMS is unique due to its high-end simulation of incidents, people and resources, generated by physics based simulation, embedded artificial intelligence, photorealistic visualizations, and ambient sounds. It offers a proven methodology to provide results-based and cost-effective training. Since 1995, ADMS has been used to train emergency responders around the world, as well as used to test emergency response plans. ADMS continues to train first responders worldwide and has begun receiving serious interest from other areas, such as Security, Defense and Schools. ETC Simulation would like to thank all of our first responders who continue to make our world a safe place to live. We truly value and honor your continued commitment, sacrifice and service. | |||
