Radiant RFID (“Radiant”)
announced today that the State of New Jersey has awarded
the company a five-year contract to assist evacuation and
emergency tracking during catastrophic events.
Radiant will provide the
Office of Homeland
Security and Preparedness (OHSP) with a
managed evacuation solution that tracks evacuees, pets,
emergency transport vehicles and commodities deployed at
state shelters in preparation for and in the event of a
hurricane, natural disaster or other man-made incident to
assist in reunification of families. In addition, Radiant
will manage hardware components, deployment processes and
training as well as all maintenance and management
functions in support of the State of New Jersey.
Utilizing the latest in passive RFID technology,
Radiant’s Emergency Management Solution is the only
RFID-based solution designed to assist emergency
management teams with large-scale evacuations by making
the continuous movement of people, pets and assets easy to
track without repeatedly stopping people to take their
names or scan bar codes. The seamless tracking helps
eliminate lines, reduce redundancy and keep families
together in times of emergency.
Along with the 8.8 million residents of New Jersey,
Radiant RFID’s solution covers the State of Texas, State
of South Carolina, and City of Boston – approximately 18
percent of the United States population.
