EmerGeo Solutions Worldwide Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EMG))(FRANKFURT:
EMI), a leading provider of emergency management software and
consulting services, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary
Emergeo Software Solutions Middle East LLC has secured a strategic
contract with the Ministry of Interior, represented by the Abu
Dhabi Police G.H.Q., to implement its EmerGeo software. The
software was used by the Abu Dhabi Police in their emergency and
crisis management work, at the inaugural Yas Island Formula 1® Race
in early November, to incorporate GIS based security and emergency
plans in support of their emergency response operations. The
EmerGeo software was also used in the December 2009 FIFA Cup, the
National Day Celebrations, and will continue to evolve into Abu
Dhabi Police's daily operations.
"We are extremely pleased to secure this record $1.4 million
contract," said Michael Morrow, President and CEO of EmerGeo
Solutions. "The Abu Dhabi Police are to be praised for their
forward thinking in using a GIS based approach to emergency
response planning, crisis management and preparedness. As part of
this contract, we are reviewing emergency plans and integrating
them into the EmerGeo Fusionpoint(TM) software which will be used
to link together several crisis management rooms in different
police command and control centers, within the Emirate. Many
organizations around the world now recognize the need to have a
system that not only tracks critical information but can also fuse
data together from many existing systems into a simple, secure and
configurable web dashboard," explains Morrow.
EmerGeo has vast international event experience, applying best
practices and technology solutions in crisis and emergency
management through work with a range of government and industry
organizations around the world. Some of these events include the
Olympic Games, Asia Pacific Economic Conference, G8 Summit, and the
Commonwealth Games. EmerGeo's software will also be used by the
City of Vancouver and other organizations during the upcoming 2010
Olympic Winter Games.
In addition, EmerGeo is pleased to announce that the Company
will host a conference call to update investors on Friday, January
