Description

The internship will include assisting the Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Manager with the development and improvement of emergency preparedness and Continuity of Operations Plans, site inspections and data recording, developing and coordinating drills, training opportunities, and table top, and tracking approaching and potential disasters, such as severe weather emergencies. Additionally, the internship will involve participating in working groups to create strategies towards public-private CCTV integration into a DC monitoring facility. Another key assignment for this internship will be gathering data and coordinating with property managers for a mobile application which will display the location of the closest AED unit during a cardiac emergency. The intern will visit pre-identified properties, track and provide information releases to be signed by the property manager, and updating the location information using a mobile GIS tablet application. After completion of the project, the intern will develop a presentation to present at the BID staff meeting and the safety alliance meeting. This data collection effort will allow information from Downtown DC to be included in an existing national application available from the iTunes store.
