Digital
photographs and 360 panoramic movies
images were taken at Hug High School
in 2006 as part of the District's School
Readiness & Emergency Management project.
The images were used in developing the
school's HTML

Used by Washoe County School District
to
Assist U.S. Secret Service
Advance Team before
Town Hall Meeting
Reno,
Nevada - What
can a school district do to help the U.S. Secret Service
Advance Team plan for the arrival of a presidential candidate
at one of their high schools?
Washoe County School District's Police Chief Mike Mieras was ready to respond
and quickly delivered limited access to Hug High School's HTML preplan.
"We provided the U.S. Secret
Service Advance Team limited
access to Hug High School's HTML preplan when Democratic
presidential candidate Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was
scheduled to speak at Hug High," said WCSD Police
Officer Tracy Moore.
"The Advance Team was given access to such critical data as Hug High School's
floor plans, aerial views and 360 images of the gym. This detailed information
was invaluable for their logistics planning for Senator Hillary Clinton's arrival
at Hug High on April 29th."
School Police Chief Mike Mieras said “When emergency responders arrive
at a school, they are often unfamiliar with the layout of the building. Having
this information at their fingertips will save precious time and allow them to
do their job better and faster. Without doubt, this new technology could end
up saving lives and protecting property. The U.S. Department of Education grant
funding provided our District with the opportunity to develop detailed HTML preplans,
or virtual tours, of every school within the District. That's why we
are prepared today to provided such critical and detailed information to the
Secret Service."
In 2005 the Washoe County School District was awarded a $959,950
grant for School
Readiness & Emergency Management by the U.S. Department of Education.
"The grant program was designed to provide funding to strengthen and improve
the emergency response and crisis planning efforts, at both the District and
school-site level," explained Chris Smith, Director of Emergency Preparedness
for the Washoe County School District.
The District contracted with Visual Imagry in 2006 to develop more than 100 HTML
pre-incident plans (preplans) as part of the numerous WCSD emergency
preparedness projects funding though the U.S. Department of Education. The Washoe
County School District's HTML preplans were developed using VIPlanning® Software.
