ASSIST-U.S. Attended the Northeastern Forest Fire Protection Annual Meeting

At the invitation of technology partner Global Relief Technologies, I had the opportunity to represent ASSIST-U.S.^® on January 25th at the Northeast Forest Fire Protection Compact (NFFPC) annual meeting in South Portland, ME.

NFFPC members came from around the U.S. and Canada to share experiences and learn about the latest technologies and services available to support their efforts. I was able to present our new marketing video, “ASSIST-U.S. Emergency Response Capabilities,” a 5 min. 40 sec. overview of our current capabilities in this market (view it here).

During the “Vendor Night” session following the meeting, I spoke in more detail to several vendors — potential customers and technology partners – as well as potential end-users of our aerial EO/IR, real-time full motion video services. Vendors with whom we may be able to collaborate synergistically included Firewise Communities, Quincy MA; Northeast Forest and Fire Management LLC, Sandwich MA, and simtable, Santa Fe NM.

Interested end-users represented the various Departments of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection from the New England states and the Canadian Province of New Brunswick. This was time well-spent to raise our company's visiblity to an important segment of the New England emergency response community, and we are encouraged by the interest in our services.
