HELP's much anticipated mobile telemedicine clinic known as "Doc-in-a-Box" was unveiled during Operations "Golden Phoenix" and "Freedom's Ring" recently.

 

The joint military and civilian disaster exercises were conducted in California and Arizona. The exercise simulated a massive 8.0 earthquake in the Los Angeles basin area. If such an earthquake were to hit massive numbers of people would be expected to evacuate into Arizona.

 

As such emergency professionals studied many aspects of managing such a mass migration of people and tested many communication and collaboration tools necessary to assist the millions of people who might displaced if such a scenario became reality.

 

 

Doc-in-a-Box had its maiden deployment, testing communications and telemedicine links to hospitals, physicians and disaster management locations.
