Exploratory session on how Civil Support Teams (CST) can support the emergency response community during a seismic event. The Missouri National Guard's 7th Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) CST will discuss specific CST capabilities including reconnaissance, communications, laboratory, and Common Operating Picture (COP)/Situational Awareness development. Discussion will include issues with expansion from single CST response to multiple-CST support (e.g.,command and control, mission assignment, COP development, response timelines, etc). Final portion of the class will provide a live demonstration of specific communications capabilities including live "hot zone" video, VTC, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) capabilities.
