The first deployment of this solution will be in New York City where the CEAS program has been in use since 2004. “We are extremely excited to have our software used as an important part of the CEAS program and hope that this New York deployment will be the first of many other CEAS cities to adopt our software” said Enterprise Air Chief Executive Michael Hejtmanek. “New York City is clearly the flagship program in the CEAS partnership and continues to be at the cutting edge of emergency management. It is our goal to have all of our CEAS programs embraces this cutting edge technology”, said Peter Picarillo, Executive Director for BNET.
CEAS is a pre-event credentialing program, which authenticates critical business employees to gain access to restricted areas following a disaster or serious emergency using a secure identification card recognized by the police. Jurisdictional governments must adopt the CEAS Program for use in their jurisdiction before businesses can enroll in the Program and receive ID cards. The local authorities can implement CEAS following an emergency once immediate threats to life are stabilized.
