Vision Statement: “A virtual reality based Crisis Action Center is not a physical construct. It is not subject to the very disasters destroy brick and mortar facilities built where the disaster happens. Placing the facility in virtual space enables local, state and national coordination without the delay of travel. Furthe,r first responders do not leave their essential work site to attend a meeting. It is affordable and responsive .

Jaque Davison , President Davison Associates

Note: The Killeen Crisis Action Center is no longer in use by the city of Killeen.
It was built in 2004 as a proof of concept.

 

Description
 
The Killeen Texas Crisis Action Center is a proof of concept built in 2004 in coordination with the Assistant City Manager of Killeen Texas. While no longer used by the city, it stands as an example of how to use a virtual space to manage information in a crisis. It duplicates and magnifies the capabilities of a brick and mortar facility and will be up and running regardless of what happens to the municipality using it.

A VR based crisis center could be deployed for small town along the gulf coast in the path of hurricanes where an evacuation is necessary. It allows representatives at the local state and national level to participate in all phase of operations related to a storm with out everyone traveling to the site. The most important point is that people stay where they are and begin the process of planning and recovery with out the time lost in travel.
