In this deck from the Global Tech Jam 2018, Michael Dunaway from the NIMSAT Informatics Research Institute University of Louisiana at Lafayette presents: Public Safety Supercluster. The Public Safety SuperCluster (PSSC) of the Global City Teams Challenge is a public-private partnership dedicated to identifying technologies, processes and strategies from among GCTC members to enhance public safety and resilience within smart connected communities, and improve the preparedness, response and recovery of modern society from the complex challenges, hazards and risks that threaten local and regional stability. The broad goal of the PSSC is to develop, integrate and pilot technology applications and test new operating procedures and employment methods in collaboration with first responders, public safety officials, and government agencies, to improve situational awareness before, during, and after an incident or civil emergency in order to protect human life, maintain community functions and infrastructure, and ensure public safety. Moreover, the PSSC aims to improve policies and procedures for integration of advanced communications methods and decision systems to enhance interagency planning and coordination of resources within smart and connected communities. The PSSC focuses specific attention on the integration of current and future Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to build resilience and sustainability into the technology ecosystem that comprises smart, connected communities. The PSSC was launched in 2016 by GCTC member communities engaged in developing public-safety focused technologies, and is currently open to membership by all communities, private sector enterprises, non-governmental organizations, and government agencies (at all levels), who share an interest in addressing current and future challenges in public safety, disaster preparedness, and community resilience through the development and integration of advanced technologies.

Geospatial Consortium
S&CC require a common reference architecture designed to enhance decision-making
through improved information sharing and interoperability across a myriad of information sources
and IT processing capabilities, including IoT, sensor webs, and geospatial information.
PSSC is collaborating with OGC to develop a SCIRA Deployment Guide relevant to Smart Public
Safety, and will pilot the reference architecture and Deployment Guides in actual implementations
developed by municipal smart city participants.
