WELCOME
PALMETTO VISION
The goal of this effort is a county-centric Emergency Management
Common Operating Picture (EM-COP) framework that provides ESF
personal consistent processes, tools, and data to in order to more
effectively plan and respond.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Information sharing leads to improved situational awareness (SA) and a common
operational picture (COP) that can be seamlessly updated.

The Evolution of Emergency Broadcasting
The IPAWS provides a unique opportunity to give state and county ESF
authorities exposure to FEMA’s next-generation public alert and warning
technologies

DHS UNIFIED INCIDENT COMMAND DECISION SUPPORT
(UICDS)
UICDS EM-COP’S “Data Exchange Framework”
A standards-based emergency management architecture that can be
incrementally implemented across a variety of organizations
A “middleware foundation” that enables National Response
Framework (NRF) and National Incident Management System
(NIMS), including Incident Command Structure (ICS), information
sharing and decision support among commercial and government
incident management technologies used across the country to
prevent, protect, respond, and recover from natural, technological,
and terrorist events.

*The main focus of the Beta Test is to validate the selection of UICDS
and IPAWS as the data exchange backbone of the Palmetto Vision
framework. The baseline toolset demonstrates a broad range of the
systems initial capabilities.
**Viewing the data can be accomplished using a range of different
front end software tools. As the Palmetto Vision system evolves
additional front end interfaces will be connected to the UICDS Core.

EAGLE VISION IV - DISASTER SUPPORT
Eagle Vision imagery is sent over a microwave link to the SCOPE server. Then the
image is ingested into the EM-COP and passed down to a specific county.

SCEMD CONNECTIVITY
Satellite imagery, live helicopter and processed F-15/F-16 video may be shown within
the EM-COP to give county ESF personnel a bird’s eye view of an event.
EAGLE VISION SATELLITE IMAGERY
When there’s a Presidential Disaster Declaration, South Carolina's National Guard
Eagle Vision program will shoot satellite images of the affected areas and those
images will be displayed in the COP. Each county will be able to download each image
for further analysis.
