Spring Blitz

Probaris participated in a disaster response demonstration last week in conjunction with the City of Tampa , the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the National Football League (NFL). The demonstration was part of a series of on-going DHS demonstrations that are intended to improve the crisis readiness posture of government agencies, private sector organizations, and emergency response officials (EROs). The objective of this demonstration was to show the ability to rapidly and electronically validate the identity of EROs and to immediately issue secure identity credentials for use during the simulated disaster. Probaris ID was used in the demonstration to issue just-in-time credentials to EROs.

Winter Blast

The Winter Blast demonstration focused on the healthcare and emergency responder industry's adoption and implementation of FIPS 201 interoperable First Responder Authentication Credential (FRAC) system. Probaris ID was used for the event to issue over 100 credentials to participants. The demonstration familiarized the Federal, State, and local medical communities with the National Preparedness Credentialing Framework. The primary focus was the National Response Framework (NRF) Emergency Support Function (ESF) 8 “Public Health and Medical Services” for emergency response officials.
