Mr. Gaspard,

I have found some information on fusion centers that I think you find interesting. (1) This is a recent article about problems that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is having in implementing the Fusion Center Program, as mandated by Congress in the “Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007” (P.L. 110-53). http://www.hstoday.us/content/view/6604/149/(2) Here is a link to a report by the House Homeland Security Committee on Homeland Security published in 2008 regarding the implementation of P.L. 110-53. I think you will be interested in the section starting on page 23. http://homeland.house.gov/SiteDocuments/20080909151532-76784.pdfI hope you find this information helpful. If you have any suggestions that you would like Congressman Melancon to share with either the Homeland Security Committee or with the DHS, please send me a letter, and I will make sure that the appropriate parties receive it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I WROTE MOST OF YOU CONCERNING THIS IN MARCH. I DO BELIEVE NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT. I am concerned with our elavated crime rates, our cost of crime, elevate risk from a WMD, a Biological attack, and solutions 1 system of systems a matrix, that multitasks, and solves multiple problems at the same time. We are looking at the overall solutions that we can provide: I GUARANTEE WE CAN CATCH EVERY CRIMINAL
1 Greatly reduced criminal acts.2 Diminished risk of safety, on a compound level. 3 Once you get the few criminals off the street, 4 monitor all the rest digitally, and have your designated persons, IE probation/ Parole, or the sex offenders unit will only have to respond when their is a blatant act of disregard for the rules and at that point we will tell you who it is, where they are and what the reaction time is. 5 Of course Jobs people will spend their money in New Orleans again. People will have the peace of mind, THIS I GUARANTEE, we will catch every criminal and we will provide ample evidence for conviction, Digitally.6 WE WILL CATCH EVERY MURDERER, 7 RAPIST, THUG, 8 ROBBER, AND 9 SOLVE EVERY CAR ACCIDENT.10 we can even assist in locating condemning evidence such as DNA, for example if we record that the perpatrator touched the door in a certain fashion leaving potential DNA, or other clues.WE WILL PROVIDE THE PLATFORM FOR THE REST OF THE NATION, Mr. Mayor., Councilpersons, we will have an absolutely open book policy on a need to know level, we will allow the Council to look at video screens and see where all the resources such as City Buses, Police , EMS, FIRE. We could actually video tape the failure of any current critical infrastructure, allowing us to be prepared, informed, and capable of sending the right information to the right departments, having also a website where every New Orleans could Register after a storm, and we could share the information with whomever they ( the Owner/ Claimant) decides. Having a certain website to go to allows us to help our Citizens maintain some control and assist them. we would also have the ability to store on line all pertinent records, such as birth certificates, DMV, POLICE, VITAL RECORDS, SCHOOLS, just have them dump their files make a user id and store all pertinent info. in conjunction with the Crime stoppers Program we will initiate a reward system we don't want your name just dial a certain number, and we will focus on your immediate are and have units in route, "don't wait the Life You Save may be Your Own" and we will invest 10 % back into the effected communities, 10% of our profits in: Parks, Drug Awareness, and any thing else that the council and Mayors office designates, as long as we can stay within limits.
AWAITING YOUR RESPONSE,
Juan R. Gaspard

First hand I saw and experienced the complete and total breakdown of the very fiber and fabric of a functional society from a Natural as well as man-made disaster.My reply is even if you have a head (the federal government) and a body (the state) if you don't have a local ( Municipal/parish/county) Fusion Center than you have no legs, and you are again sufficiently crippled. therefor now the burden has shifted from the Federal domain to the state-local domain, which solves nothing and perpetuates the problems.THE NEAR FUTURE(3-5 YEARS):WMD'S = VERY LIKELYTERRORISM = VERY LIKELYMEGA HURRICANES= OF COURSE,LIKE HAS NEVER BEEN SEENAVIAN INFLUENZA =VERY LIKELY 40-150 MILL.DEATHS WORLD WIDE EARTHQUAKES = YES, IN DIVERSE PLACESASTEROID IMPACT ???

Critical Infrastructure:Critical infrastructures drive all of the necessary functions upon which society depends, yet, for the most part, completely ignores. Critical infrastructures are the complex and highly interdependent systems, networks, and assets that provide the services essential in our daily life. They are currently organized into the following 17 critical infrastructure and key resource (CI/KR) sectors: Banking and Finance; Chemical; Commercial Facilities; Commercial Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste; Dams; Defense Industrial Base; Drinking Water and Wastewater Treatment Systems; Emergency Services; Energy; Food and Agriculture; Government Facilities; Information Technology; National Monuments and Icons; Postal and Shipping; Public Health and Healthcare; Telecommunications; and Transportation Systems.1 The Energy, Telecommunications, Transportation, and Water Sectors represent just a few of the basic services that we continually rely on day after day, services that enable us to heat or cool our homes, talk to one another over the telephone, travel to work, and even have clean water to drink. With our increasing dependence upon critical infrastructure comes an unavoidable expansion in complexity as these sectors seek to build upon their already stretched capacity to provide new services and products to a growing population. Given the criticality of the systems, networks, and assets we rely on so greatly, the protection of such infrastructure is essential to not only our well-being, but also our way of life. Critical infrastructure protection, commonly referred to as CIP, is a priority for the Federal government, as well as the private sector and state, local, and tribal governments. With approximately 85 percent of the Nation's critical infrastructure owned by the private sector, and no single, overarching body managing this infrastructure, the task of protecting critical infrastructure is daunting. Critical infrastructures must be protected from all hazards, both natural and man-made disasters and terrorism, whether a cyber-related threat or large-scale physical attack. Hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, and train crashes can impact infrastructure just as much as a premeditated act aimed at disrupting services or harming the populace. Considering this, we must better understand the Nation's infrastructure to ensure its protection.Not all infrastructures are critical and not all critical infrastructures have the same criticality. To adequately address CIP and determine what is really critical, a step-by-step analytical process must be implemented. This process should be used to determine critical systems, identify vulnerabilities, and focus survivability enhancements on critical areas. Identifying interdependencies and interoperabilities between systems also helps us to understand what assets are truly critical and need to be protected the most. Following this analysis, steps can be taken to mitigate vulnerabilities amongst critical assets. Guaranteeing critical systems redundancy and diversity is key to ensuring that critical systems survive threats from all hazards. For instance, if two power lines run on the same path for redundancy and one line is damaged, the second line will also face interference. By guaranteeing diversity and spreading power lines out on different paths, the likelihood of both lines going down simultaneously is lessened. Additionally, single-point vulnerabilities should be protected, minimized, or eliminated if possible. Moreover, protection at each critical node should be commensurate with realistic threats. If a single-point vulnerability or critical node of failure is damaged, entire systems, networks, or assets will be affected regardless of other protective measures in place to prevent disruption of services. Finally, alternative systems use, rerouting of capabilities, and functioning under reduced capacities should be considered during any CIP process. While it is impossible to protect all critical infrastructures, using this basic approach allows for the prioritization of assets and resources based on criticality and assists us in better protecting our Nation's CI/KR. It is with the knowledge gained from analyzing infrastructure and various interdependencies that we can have a greater understanding of the cascading effects caused by damage to a particular asset and protect that asset accordingly. Appreciating that an asset may be more critical than another, due to its affect on other infrastructure and essential services, plays an important role when looking at CIP. If an electric substation is damaged and the electricity goes out, railroad operations are hampered and the flow of area traffic is impacted, causing a decreased movement of commodities and potential complications for emergency services. Thus, that electric substation must be protected not only for the Energy Sector, but also for the safeguarding of other sectors' infrastructure. Similarly, if a major port is closed and transportation from that port ceases, the cascading effects of that closure can disrupt the value chain of commerce, in turn affecting the Nation's economy. For example, the food and agriculture industry across the country may be affected from a lack of incoming supplies necessary for the production of industry goods and also may suffer from a slow in agricultural trade activity. Protecting ports and ensuring that their operations do not cease will help enable other sectors' infrastructure to conduct regular business with less interruption to services. Advances in technology and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems have increased these interdependencies, enhancing sector operations but creating additional vulnerabilities. Such vulnerabilities and gaps in security must be addressed to adequately protect critical infrastructure. Without the protection of CI/KR, our Nation is vulnerable to attack or negative impact from various natural or man-made disasters and may also experience disruption in the deliverance of essential services that support our citizenry.The systems that support our daily activities and way of life are clearly complex and vulnerable, yet also must be reliable and resilient to continue providing us with the essential services we depend on. Everything from banking to emergency response to government operations depends on normal operation of numerous sectors. As a society, we must continue to explore ways to protect and ensure the reliability of our critical infrastructures. Government agencies, private industries, educational institutions, and citizens all have a vested interest in our critical infrastructures and should strive to have a better understanding of the relationships between sectors, the criticality of assets, and the need for protection of those assets against all hazards.
ok so we now understand critical infrastructure and the threats, the what,why and how. Now we are going to look at .... the WHO and HOW to decrease disruption as much as possible.that is called PREPAREDNESS, PREVENTION, AND PLANNING. And if you are misguided enough to think we are remotely prepared look at Hurricanes Katrin, Rita, Gustav, and Ike.New orleans has not recovered from Katrina and it has been 3 years. unfortunately Galveston will share a similar demise. For Hurricane Gustav most of southern Louisiana lost electricity, and ONLY, ONLY because of first hand experience from our Governor, with the on sight guidance and assistance from the DHS and FEMA was a MAJOR health and social catastrophy avoided.THE NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION PLAN:http://cipp.gmu.edu/archive/NIPP_Plan6-06.pdf
FUSION CENTERS:http://it.ojp.gov/documents/fusion_center_guidelines_law_enforcement.pdfhttp://www.iir.com/global/products/fusion_center_executive_summary.pdfFusion Centers are places where information is gathered and shared, from local to state, then state to Federal, and vice versa.so if there is a missing element you will not have the safe expedient flow of proper information along the lines required to sustain our society, whether on a Local State or Federal level.enough of the problem, we could talk of the problems and threats forever (which is what has been being done in washington)Lets discuss some solutions:FIRST OF ALL EVERY JURISDICTION WHETHER lOCAL(COUNTY/PARISH OR MUNICIPAL) OR STATE HAS TO HAVE A FUSION CENTER IN PLACE TO COMPLETE THE REQUIREMENTS OF HSPD 5,7,8,20VERNETIA VISION (MY DESIGN) employs state of the art technology to complete the State and Local requirements we need in place to sustain us. It is an All crimes/all hazards approach and platform.I add the missing elements for Fusion Centers to become real ALL CRIMES / ALL HAZARDS Technological systems. ABSTRACT OF PROPOSALWAIST:WIFI ASSISTED INTEROPERABILITY SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGYPROJECT OBJECTIVESTo ensure the United States national preparedness goals are FulfilledDevelop sustainable solutions and effective tools to assist State and Local Jurisdictions in building capabilities that address their areas of greatest need including response to hurricanes along the gulf coast, mechanisms of response to a Terrorist threat, biological or environmental threat and support overall achievement of the National Preparedness Goal.Input data of potential disaster victims into software and computer programs.Data is mirrored and mined into effective processes, to ensure this critical information is provided to on scene responders.Verification processes ensure effective, efficient, collaboration.Real time data mining to ensure all individuals that are in need have a solution in a timely manner lessening the overall cost and risk to responders.Real time data changing Geodynamic intelligent solutions. Cross dimensional resolution to fulfill needs of all victims within 48 hours.Post disaster follow up via proprietary management toolsResolution and conflict services for victims regarding claims and other life issuesTo organize and control a national Unified database from which all pertinent information can be accessed.By utilizing existing technology, initiating a united collaboration of technology to reduce the risks faced by responders by providing information that could potentially save lives.To design a "living" Database that will ELIMINATE duplicity and fraud.To incorporate all available technology that can be upgraded in the future using "common" items.we propose a multi layered, multi- faceted response starting with:PREPAREDNESS: An innovative reporting method, that allows the "end user" to decide what level of privacy they want, each state EOC needs capabilities to talk to others.RESPONSE: utilizing leading edge technology, helmet cams, GPS Beacons on responders, Satellite feeds, wrist bands given to people refusing to evacuate emergency flashlights with a gps beacon.RECOVERY: tracking ALL persons and equipment using satellite fed Master modules and computer chips in Radios, cell phones , license platesUtilizing this Database in Non- emergency times we could deter most crime, by letting the general public join in on the system on a voluntary basis.Strategic placement will allow us to monitor our borders at ALL times, using thermal vision cameras with motion detectors as switches.To electronically unite us and therefore allow transfer of information without exposing responders to unnecessary risks.Take the threat out of terrorism, after all we could track them at all times, actually watching where they go and who they meet up with.post real time information based on WHO, CDC reportscombine all jurisdictions into a unified Database Collaborate all 17 critical infrastructures across all jurisdictional boundary, thereby insuring cross communication of surrogate levels, coordinating with several but neighboring jurisdictions.Cross train all staff in "non- emergency" procedures, as well as "Emergency" procedures.Aid and assist in all criminal investigations, prosecutions and post conviction monitoring.Provide all pertinent information, and the data thereof to aid and assist in vehicular accidents, to provide for investigations and for future studies.Provide all amber alerts and reports.To aid and assist in all post arrest monitoring of sex offenders.To aid and assist in all complaints of a criminal nature, whereby information is needed.To aid and assist in pre- Disaster Mitigation to survey in real time the exact nature of the threat.To aid and assist in response to calls for help or notification in the line of duty.To assist in the everyday assessment of government assets, and in times of emergencies to assist in the inventory and response thereof.To assist in locating lost Hunters, Fishers, Hikers, mentally challenged Children, or adults.To assist in response to the general claim of criminal activity. in times of emergency agencies could get online and deposit all their critical information, then when the threat has diminished just go and retrieve all the info.Online pre-registration for disasters, on a Local, State and Federal Level, this information is shared with whom the Owner decides. Rail car registration system, where the contents of each rail car as it is moving are tracked and monitored in case of an accident, and for the sake of the general public as well as first respondersLocal Jurisdiction could use the asset management tools to track all of their assets, to better manage a disaster, in real time.Cameras would have a multi use format, in other words the same cameras issuing tickets could also be used by multiple other agencies if the need should arise.We would offer anyone the right to opt in, and raise their level of participation, along the lines of alarm systems, and public safety.Home and business alarms will employ strategic new measures to utilize state of the art technology to their advantage.We could employ enough cameras to safely diminish the threat of a terrorists efforts, while monitoring the critical infrastructure at all times, something that is much more cost effective than hiring hundreds or thousands of individuals.Geographically we are Americas first line of defense, therefore we not only have the responsibility to prepare for a terrorists attack, but we also have the responsibility to prepare ourselves for a mass evacuation for numerous reasons, including but not limited to: Hurricanes, Chemical spills, terrorists attacks, Bio terrorism, or any of the many other scenarios.We have the responsibility of participating in some of the most intriguing aspects of The American Dream, while maintaining the overall safety of our way of life.we must prepare extensible plans of action for the Pandemic Influenza outbreak, because of our geographical position as well as our Ports of call, whereby ships from many Nations visit our area, and utilizing this system will best serve us in that arena.We must maintain due diligence when it comes to the safety of our schools, utilizing this platform will maintain our best response mechanisms in case of a school / hostage crisis.We now have the technology and resources to do all of this and much more, we need to utilize all of our resources to prepare for a time in which they may be needed.can be used for tracking truants, if the parent or school so choosescan tie in all the critical infrastructure, along with becoming the seat of the County response center or the Joint command and decision support, as well as market the County by allowing anyone access to view mode of the cameras, while Local State and Federal modes are greatly controlled and have limited access.
ALL CRIMES:
why track digital signals? 400 million devices, NationwideThe current market substantiates that 400 million Wireless devices will be sold globally in 2008 for a market record. We will increase information exchange on Local, State, and Federal Levels. We will use this as a source of interoperability during times of crisis and usher in a new age of accountability. Currently there are about 20 different wifi systems all experiencing limitations; we're taking reality to a new level. Currently the successful prosecution of a murder case is well over a million dollars. Then there are the victims that result in debilitating injuries, another 2,000,000.00 dollars per incident. And the cycle repeats itself every day. Most offenders are repeat offenders. Our goal is to catch them the first time, using the network mesh to pinpoint them, after a crime has been committed, we can then scan them, lock on to, and track any digital devices that are on the perpetrator. We will also eliminate the need for conventional and cell phone service, which will be replaced by VoIP. This is why no phone company is trying to rescue "The wifi's"
Vernetia Vision is a system of solutions, A system built around current and future technology. We are prepared to broaden our understanding of current technology so we can be best supported by the least cost. If we utilize smart technology we can track offenders in real time prevent crime and speed recovery. Yes I said we can prevent crime. I GUARANTEE WE CAN CATCH EVERY CRIMINAL 1 Greatly reduced criminal acts.2 Diminished risk of safety, on a compound level. 3 Once you get the few criminals off the street, 4 monitor all the rest digitally, and have your designated persons, IE probation/ Parole, or the sex offenders unit will only have to respond when their is a blatant act of disregard for the rules and at that point we will tell you who it is, where they are and what the reaction time is. 5 Of course Jobs people will spend their money in New Orleans again. People will have the peace of mind, THIS I GUARANTEE, we will catch every criminal and we will provide ample evidence for conviction, Digitally.6 WE WILL CATCH EVERY MURDERER, 7 RAPIST, THUG, 8 ROBBER, AND 9 SOLVE EVERY CAR ACCIDENT.10 we can even assist in locating condemning evidence such as DNA, for example if we record that the perpatrator touched the door in a certain fashion leaving potential DNA, or other clues.WE WILL PROVIDE THE PLATFORM FOR THE REST OF THE NATION, Mr. Mayor., Councilpersons, we will have an absolutely open book policy on a need to know level, we will allow the Council to look at video screens and see where all the resources such as City Buses, Police , EMS, FIRE. We could actually video tape the failure of any current critical infrastructure, allowing us to be prepared, informed, and capable of sending the right information to the right departments, having also a website where every New Orleans could Register after a storm, and we could share the information with whomever they ( the Owner/ Claimant) decides. Having a certain website to go to allows us to help our Citizens maintain some control and assist them. we would also have the ability to store on line all pertinent records, such as birth certificates, DMV, POLICE, VITAL RECORDS, SCHOOLS, just have them dump their files make a user id and store all pertinent info. in conjunction with the Crime stoppers Program we will initiate a reward system we don't want your name just dial a certain number, and we will focus on your immediate are and have units in route, "don't wait the Life You Save may be Your Own"
and we will invest 10 % back into the effected communities, 10% of our profits in: Parks, Drug Awareness, and any thing else , as long as we can stay within limits.Utilizing current technology but altering our understanding is paramount for any solution to be beneficial and fruitful.As we grow as a people learning from our past we must understand first Responders are the people on scene for hours before anyone "OFFICIAL" arrives
Utilizing current wifi technology and Blu- tooth enabled devices we can track all state assets, criminals as the crime is committed in real time, kill car chases, record the criminal activity to be used in court. We could also monitor each and every sexual offender , tracking there whereabouts and of course automatically notifying victims if the perimeter is breached. We could also do the Same thing with any other Restraining order, or persons on Probation and Parole. On Ethics: We can best utilize our current technological expertise monitoring and regulating misuse and fraud.Using digital technology we can track our assets now and during a natural or manmade disaster.If we can control our assets during a non emergency then we might control them during chaos, but if we do not control our assets now we never will.We can monitor all of our Cell phones , using Saturn hybrid vehicles we could not only go green but save money and track the vehicles, using controls to shut them down for non use, or to limit their use, and track and monitor fraud waste and misuse.
In the case of speeding it would be as simple as a notice in the mail, nothing new about that. But in the cases of daily life and the incidence of criminal activity, as soon as a breach is declared in real time of course the proper authorities will be notified immediately imagine having a million recorders all over the state. In ethics lets use an example of someone using a state provided for vehicle as their primary mode of transport, if they cross jurisdiction, or misuse the vehicle it will be reported/ recorded from the database that stores all the digital information. Imagine each person in this great and wonderful state, could make phone calls free using "WIFI" technology. no more lost children or children abused and lost, or hidden for years.No more sex offenders prowling our streets preying on our youth. As we catch and prosecute them , we then set up parameters of safe zones where convicted offenders are not allowed, let us be that society that protects our children from the scourge of the earth.Imagine a society that when someone steals something they are displayed on signs and monitors in malls or shopping centers as electronic wanted posters, lets humiliate the criminals and have them tracked using digital information visual aids such as cameras using thermo graphic capabilities to see inside buildings when necessary in a hostage or rescue type situation. Imagine if we could track every bus, truck, car, phone, laptop, and anything else , imagine a Hurricane approaches and Parish president, or OEP director sits at a computer monitor and sees all the buses in St. Bernard, as he waits for the Governor to give an order of evacuation. He decides to overrule and orders a mass evacuation then he watches as each bus is driven off and routed to safety. And the employees take their individual equipment with them. Imagine a society where we could report our information to our state and they would coordinate the information to over 40 different agencies.and as each person is processed in they get a name / swipe tag, the bus then has a roster along the route there are monitors that as the vehicles pass it reads the digital signal from their vehicle and coordinates this vital information, actually recording who is on the bus for the ones who do get off where they want to. And when they do their individual evacuation identification will signal sensors at the location as if electronically, but rather digitally tracking you could lock in signals for parents, of youth to trigger other systems. As if components of a package.We could use this technology to usher in a new age of hunting and fishing. imagine hunting licenses with beacon in them. If there is an emergency they could call the emergency personnel , numbers posted on the license. Then the responders could track them using digital info like gps.Only criminals would have to be concerned of being tracked because that is how we will set up the system.The new technology could be phased in in as little as 2 years and we could compoundly decrease criminal incident and begin to treat the source of the problems with the dollars saved being used for drug therapy/ counseling/ rehabilitation, and actual medical benefits for all, a state medical system that would be the envy of most nations. We could save millions for each parish and reap the harvest of peace in a crime free neighborhood, like our grandparents did and of course when it does occur let it be known we will film you, track you and convict you. The same for sexual predators and anyone else that strays from their path, those under controlled or supervised probation / parole could also have their movements limited, or tracked for the cause of safety.
Imagine if we then installed chips in stocks of guns and handgrips to track them from offenders, in other words once a person enters into a gun free zone (schools, hospitals, banks,) it would alarm the officials. And this could also be used to track the user in a lost type emergency.We could also mount cameras and devices in/on critical infrastructure to signal an alarm, or automatic alerts on bridges for a net to be expanded out so they can be apprehended.
On Marketing, how better to market Louisiana and have cameras mounted strategically, then have schools compete and private persons compete to have the view of their camera choice as does other software programs such as weather bug where you can get real time weather answers.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 identified 17 critical infrastructure and key resource sectors that require protective actions to prepare for, or mitigate against, a terrorist attack or other hazards. The sectors are: agriculture and food; banking and finance; chemical; commercial facilities; commercial nuclear reactors, including materials and waste; dams; defense industrial base; drinking water and water treatment systems; emergency services; energy; government facilities; information technology; national monuments and icons; postal and shipping; public health and healthcare; telecommunications; and transportation systems including mass transit, aviation, maritime, ground or surface, rail and pipeline systems.The vast majority of the nation's critical infrastructure is owned and operated by private industry. SSPs define roles and responsibilities, catalog existing security authorities, institutionalize already existing security partnerships, and establish the strategic objectives required to achieve a level of risk reduction appropriate to each individual sector. Each SPP also establishes a sector-specific risk-reduction consultative network to exchange best practices and facilitate rapid threat-based information sharing among the federal, state, local, tribal and private sectors. Strategic objectives include:Protecting critical sector assets, systems, networks and functions prior to a terrorist attack or natural disaster;Rapidly reconstituting critical assets, systems and networks after an incident;Planning for emergencies and updating response plans;Ensuring timely, relevant and accurate threat information sharing between the law enforcement and intelligence communities and key decision makers in the sector; andEducating stakeholders on infrastructure resiliency and risk management practices.ICSThe echelons of the ICS help define potential users of Vernetia Vision. These echelons include Area Command (if established), Incident Command or Unified Command and the field-level tactical responder assets - units and individual resources – managed under the ICS. Tactical responder assets include all communities of Federal, state, tribal and local emergency responders that support ICS such as:· Emergency management · Firefighting· Public safety and security· Public works and engineering· Emergency medical services· Mortuary services· Hazardous materials response· Search and rescue · Public affairs· Aviation resources· Animal health resources· National Guard (State control)· Federal military forces· Information/intelligence analysts· Transportation support· Communications and IS support· Resource logistics supportagriculture and food; banking and finance; chemical; commercial facilities; commercial nuclear reactors, including materials and waste; dams; defense industrial base; drinking water and water treatment systems; emergency services; energy; government facilities; information technology; national monuments and icons; postal and shipping; public health and healthcare; telecommunications; and transportation systems including mass transit, aviation, maritime, ground or surface, rail and pipeline systems. Our main intent is gathering information. This information would then be "stored in a database where if needed it could be retrieved and downloaded and used as needed., with this solution you simply download the information and watch the video of what actually happened
when we put a system in place that it have emergency capabilities as well as non- emergency capabilitiesThat we not just become a nation of response, I was taught an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, if we just respond than how are we protecting our nation? So let's become a leader in emergency prevention by utilizing our most precious resource our people our citizens it is this factor that separates us from most other nations.We can computerize resources during a disaster (safety reasons) and we can also just by it being known that the resource is traceable reduce waste and mismanagement in the federal, state, and local level, as well as use that as a tool to prove who or at least what car was in the driveway or in the neighborhood when a burglary took place.Add in tracking mechanisms for all valuables like jewelry televisions or whatever a user decides and guess what you just shot crime in the foot. So then we will be on our way as a nation not just to prevent or deter criminal behavior but to find true freedom and liberty.The uses for the information that would be gathered is endless, insurance companies would lower rates because the items protected would be 100% traceable, they could also use the information if there was a wreck to actually watch what occurred up to 3-10-24 hours before the accident took place the days of police chasing there tails trying to get witnesses-over matter of fact this would be a truly impartial witness for the first time since man walked the earth.High speed pursuits will become a thing of the past as once anyone starts to flee from the police the red lights could be controlled to stop the flow of traffic for easy apprehension
My Design takes the Federal idea to another level and introduces real needs for a true Fusion center on a local Level. So instead of just USING the SAME equiptment for a limited set of agencies, I designed Vernetia Vision to be a limitless source for information. Each state needs to have a Database that exchanges information with the following agencies: Emergency management · Firefighting· Public safety and security· Public works and engineering· Emergency medical services· Mortuary services· Hazardous materials response· Search and rescue · Public affairs· Aviation resources· Animal health resources· National Guard (State control)· Federal military forces· Information/intelligence analysts· Transportation support· Communications and IS support· Resource logistics support agriculture and food; banking and finance; chemical; commercial facilities; commercial nuclear reactors, including materials and waste; dams; defense industrial base; drinking water and water treatment systems; emergency services; energy; government facilities; information technology; national monuments and icons; postal and shipping; public health and healthcare; telecommunications; and transportation systems including mass transit, aviation, maritime, ground or surface, rail and pipeline systems.courtspoliceDepartment of motor vehicleselectricwatertelephonevitalrecordslabor boardstate revenueAll of which are either public information or already exist in a database already, except there is no cross sharing of information.all of this information would aid states and local governments as well as individuals in case of a national emergency as well as to combat Terrorism, and eliminate fraudulent claims with the Federal Government. also if this is accomplished on a state and federal level then the brunt of responsibility has been shifted from the Federal level to t state level. if we as a state do not have the pertinent Fusion centers in plac on a LOCAL level then there will be many complications on a LOCAL/STATE level.
Essentially we could have Federal assets availble and the breakdown on a State / Local level will impede solutions. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. 1 mega system that does it all. A true ALL CRIMES / ALL HAZARDS APPROACH that will solv many problems and involve 50-60 agencies on a municipal level. AWAITING YOUR RESPONSE,
Juan Gaspard

Juan Gaspard:FEMA Courses IS100, IS200, IS700, IS800 (FEMA upper level crisis management Team Leader)Juan played a key and pivotal role in the success of Fluor Government Group after Hurricane Katrina. Juan invented and designed three different computer information technology solutions for Fluor Government Group, including the automated Package Process. His efforts helped streamline the flow of data gathering and dissemination of information in a more timely basis, Juan was also in charge of receiving government assets, and distribution of those assets while managing a staff of twenty five. Juan was also a member of the St. Bernard Parish O.E.P. for 8 years.Juan was also night superintendent for Fluor Government Group for Six Flags Staging area and maintained 30 million dollars of government assets without a loss. Juan has been involved over the past 3 years in designing solutions for DHS/HSARPA (Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency). Fusion Center Technology as well as Critical Infrastructure Protection Planning is his Forte.
Of course as we all know wherever this one goes follows extreme destruction, apparently Ike is going to be the talk of the year. If, If Ike should happen to hit the upper Texas coast/ mid western gulf coast around Freeport we will have 60% of the Oil production for the Nation at a standstill for a time frame that may be weeks/ months.
This System should NOT be dealt with on a normal basis, evacuations should start in the projected area of Landfall (cone of uncertainty), at least at the 120 hour mark starting with special needs residents. Due to the size and intensity I recommend having the Navy and coast Guard be put on standby. there are unique characteristics for a Texas Landfall that differ GREATLY from a "New Orleans Landfall. The biggest Difference is that Texas basically has no Levee system. that will be evident in the retreat of the storm Surge.
When the surge comes in , it will be HIGHLY INADVISABLE to send any type of SURFACE rescuers / first Responders in , as the Landfall will occur sometime between the 13th and the 15th, posing an even greater risk because of the "FULL MOON" or SPRING tide which is the greater, or highest tide of the Lunar cycle. so if you then add in water slosh (where the water is pushed into a pocket(Clear Creek, Galveston Bay), as well as the Storm surge we can sadly anticipate record breaking levels of water to be shoved inland as if "up a ramp". when the storm the passes inland. the Gulf will drop as well as the tide and the Storm Surge will rush out with such ferocity, that it will carry cars into houses, train cars will commit great damage to chemical plants causing a chemical soup. ships in harbor will be found in neighborhoods, The debris from the houses will create a slurry along the lines of liquefaction (like the Tsunami ). the Debris field for Texas will be along the Lines seen in Gulfport, Pascagoula, Biloxi Ms., in other words sheer and utter Destruction.
Unfortunately this will PROHIBIT any "SURFACE" rescue attempts, due to the fact that victims and rescuers WILL be washed out to the Gulf , that is why we will need the Navy and USCG to tail the storm for recovery of bodies. so it is of utmost importance that full and complete evacuation of potential areas of landfall be carried out12-24 hours before Landfall.
Of course there are going to be other factors unique to the Houston area, one is Geography as well as the drainage system which when reversed will allow for massive flooding many miles inland. Houston also has another problem which is evacuation routes could become impassable before Ike makes landfall if their is rain in the near forecast, Further complicating other Logistics.
One more keynote is according to history the last MAJOR storm to strike Galveston, was in 1900, 108 years ago which according to "traditional" factors puts Galveston 8 years plus for a 100 year storm.
I disagree with the intensity models and project a Major category 5(+) storm ( a MEGACANE), a storm of unprecedented size, strength and intensity.
Lastly we are dealing with weather which changes hourly so ....I could be wrong, but once we get a better view of the projected forecast, within the next 48-72 hours we will be able to better "PINPOINT" Landfall.But then that leaves a window of opportunity which is unacceptable for the entire evacuation of the greater Houston area, as well as to safely "bring down" all of the Petro-chemical facilities..
Any and all information that can be copied and stored online needs to be, such as school records, vital Records all city files as well as medical files, etc.
I recommend zero hour to be 2400 of the 13 which means 24 hours away is midnight on the 12th if that is the case then 120 hours is2400/midnight of the 8th, 12 hours from now, so we are at hour =132 and counting. Again the Projected area of Landfall needs to evacuated except for essential personnel at +24 hours, midnight on the 12th
Again let me stress things could change drastically, it could turn (unlikely), it could slow down, speed up......but my best advice is to start getting every train car out of the projected Landfall cone of uncertainty as well as any and all ships/ barges etc, start evacuation of special needs residents and then coastal communities etc.
another bit of advice is get every U-haul type vehicle available to the region as fast as possible so that the low lying communities can pack up which will take 1-2 days so if evacuation is ordered on the 9th that means the 11th before they get out leaving a 48 hour window of opportunity, for travel to a safe place. and it must be stressed wherever this system makes landfall will be uninhabitable for months, other than "tent cities"
Freeport north needs to evacuate north, below Freeport needs to head west / southwest.

THERE ARE RAISED PROBABILITIES THAT WE WILL BE STRUCK AGAIN, THIS YEAR,2009 .

I SAY IT WILL BE A NORTHWEST TRAVELING STORM AND AS IT NEARS GRAND ISLE IT WILL TURN NORTH/NORTH EAST. THIS STORM WILL TOTALLY INUNDATE LOUISIANA FROM MORGAN CITY TO BATON ROUGE THEN IT WILL TRAVEL INTO MISSISSIPPI.

IMAGINE THAT A STORM THAT PUSHES THE SURGE OVER THE RIVER LEVEES AND WIPES OUT BOTH SIDES YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO BATON ROUGE TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

I DON'T SAY WHAT I WANT TO, I SAY WHAT I HAVE TO.
