Previstar

Previstar provides a suite of highly customizable software products and capabilities - primarily to the emergency preparedness and response communities, the armed services, and homeland security industry - for managing the incident lifecycle, including planning for, responding to, and recovering from all hazards incidents and events. Web-based and... easy-to-use, Previstar's products enhance communications, standards based and unified planning, situational awareness, strategic decision support, and enhanced tactical execution for users located horizontally and vertically across organizational boundaries. Government and commercial organizations have used Previstar's solutions to enhance their C4I capabilities, prepare for bioterrorism attacks, protect citizens at the Olympics, recover from the multiple 2004 Florida hurricanes and hurricane Katrina, and enhance the preparedness of Nursing Homes across an entire state. Previstar's software evolved from applications initially developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and deployed at the Y-12 Nuclear complex. The Consortium of Federal Laboratories announced the company as a regional winner and national finalist for the prestigious Excellence in Technology Transfer award. FEMA's NIMS Supporting Technology Evaluation Program (NIMS STEP) determined that Previstar's Continual Preparedness System (CPS) is consistent with NIMS national standards and 100% compliant with information alerting and data exchange standards. Previstar is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia and conducts research and development activities at its facility in Knoxville, Tennessee.Read More
