  2. Project timeline: February 2006 to March 31st, 2009 • Federal Partners • Health Canada (HC) • – Radiation Protection Bureau (RPB) • Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) • – National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) • Environment Canada (EC) • – Canadian Meteorological Center (CMC) • Private Sector Partners • DBX Geomatics Inc. – Gatineau, Québec • Prolog Development – Copenhagen, Denmark

  3. CHIRP is a pan-cluster collaboration between two previous CRTI projects: • ARGOS CRTI Project # 0080TA • Accident Reporting & Guidance Operational System • The system of systems that makes up the Information Management and Decision Support System for Radiological-Nuclear Emergencies • CNPHI • Canadian Network for Public Health Intelligence • The system of systems used in the Bio Cluster for Bio emergencies

  4. CHIRP benefits: • Enhancements to the current capabilities of ARGOS. • Cost effective, efficient use of multi-jurisdictional resources • Application of innovative approach to bio and RN collaborative response and preparedness • Enhanced surveillance and intelligence gathering • Enhanced communication efficiencies between radio-nuclear and public health stakeholders

  5. ARGOS – Accident Reporting Guidance and Operational System • ARGOS is is a multi-partner data integration, monitoring, alerting, analysis and information exchange system of systems supporting the activities of the FNEP – Federal Nuclear Emergency Plan • Paired with Emap as it’s viewer, ARGOS facilitates decision support, improving situational awareness and information sharing among the RN emergency response organizations.

  6. The ARGOS Consortium • ARGOS is developed by a consortium of countries. • The current 13 member countries of the • consortium are (May 2009): Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Ireland, Lithuania Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Sweden and Turkey.

  7. ARGOS – Data Integration Model ERP code input Radiation Protection Bureau, Ottawa HC/RPB – FPS Network FNEP Emergency Management System NRCan/GSC – Aerial Survey ARGOS eMAP • Monitoring Data: • Federal Field teams • Mobile Labs • External Labs EC/CMC - Meteorology Emergency Ops Centers First Responders

  8. CNPHI – Canadian Network for Public Health Intelligence • CNPHI is an integrated monitoring, alerting, data gathering, analysis, decision support and information exchange system used by the public health community. • It gathers relevant public health intelligence into a common national framework to support coordination between multi-level jurisdictions. • This form of coordination and information sharing must occur to identify risks, initiate response and build response capacity.

  11. CHIRP offers both the Biological and Radio-Nuclear clusters seamless communication capabilities while preserving the security and defined roles of each group. Public Health Intelligence RN Public Health Info

  12. CHIRP addressed these identified gaps: • Faster and more efficient threat assessment through improved alerting and automated data sharing mechanisms • Advanced crises management and near real-time reaction capability using the response network, CHIRP tools and linkages to other CBRN clusters • Improved consequence management through better communication and decision making

  13. CHIRP Project Overview • Cross cluster collaboration • FNEP Module for CNPHI • Better integration of CMC models in ARGOS • Sharing of Map Data using GIS OGC compliant standards (WMS) between the PHAC and RPB • Prototype FNEP portal created, tested and evaluated during exercise Silver. • Evidence of early success: Po 210

  14. CHIRP and Po210 : Proof of concept Results At around 5 pm, on November 1, 2006, Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko was drinking tea in Millennium Hotel in London England. It is believed that his tea was purposefully contaminated with polonium 210. AFP PHOTO

  15. CHIRP and Po210 : Proof of concept Results • As the drama played out more contaminated sites were announced, including a number of aircraft • Many Canadians became concerned and turned to the public health community. FABIAN BIMMER/AP/PA Public health communities were looking to RPB to provide guidance

  16. CHIRP and Po210 : Proof of concept Results Using the concepts developed in the CHIRP project, RPB “manually” preformed the processes that the CHIRP system now facilitates. As a result, HC-RPB issued timely targeted public health alerts in both official languages via the secure CNPHI site to relevant registered members of the public health community at all administrative levels. (Including doctors and nurses in ERs and family practice)

  17. CHIRP and Po210 : Proof of concept Results • Alerts reached the Public Health Community via email. For the full alert and guidance information users logged in: “Respiratory” group recipients English viewed by 185 Public Health Professionals French viewed by 201 Public Health Professionals “General Emergencies” group recipients English viewed by 15 Public Health Professionals In total 402 recipients in Public Health Community from across Canada logged into the system to view the full guidance information.
