CERTcad Functional Overview In order to optimize accessibility, portability and integrate the CADphone voice and text messaging capabilities, CERTcad is a cloud based system. Its multiple server configuration allows access from any internet capable computer, smartphone or tablet, maximizing cross-platform integration. | |
In critical times, with power and internet outages locally, a sand boxed server is unusable to those outside that environment. |
Case Study: 2011 SD Blackout During its initial deployment, CERTcad was fully operational and utilized by a local CERT team during the 2011 San Diego/ Imperial/ Orange County blackout. Despite no power being available to over 3 million people, and power outages to the local team’s regular telephone volunteer lines, information was available to CERT team members who used their smartphones to update the system, update activation status, and assist in coordinating the team’s ham radio operators in a formal net. CERTcad was available to issue reverse-911 voice calls and text messages to over 130 CERT team members, if necessary. |
