Virtually Jet Lagged?
It’s been a quiet morning here at SpillConsult, as many of the team are getting some rest in preparation for a very late start!
Tonight we will see the kick off of our virtual training exercise with Western Canada Marine Response Corporation, working across time zones to prepare the team in Canada for a worst-case scenario. As most of the UK head home for the day, we’ll be settling in to help guide a simulated spill incident via our tailored Virtual Incident Command Post (VICP).
Our VICPs are designed with the needs of the team in mind, and use technology to provide the same functionality of an in-person Incident Command Post in a virtual space. Plans, maps, timelines, lines of communication, and fictional media coverage are provided to help the team respond to the incident as they would a real spill.
Our team will be on hand to provide guidance and technical support this evening, finishing at the office around midnight. Here’s hoping they won’t be too jet lagged tomorrow after their virtual trip to English Bay, Vancouver!
