FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Southampton, Pa., USA, June 28, 2018 -  Environmental Tectonics Corporation's ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation business unit, located in Orlando, FL, has been contracted to deliver an Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS(TM)) system to Northern College of Applied Arts & Technology ("Northern College"), located in Ontario, Canada.  The ADMS system will be located in the newly constructed Integrated Emergency Services Complex at the Timmins Campus.

The ADMS-COMMAND virtual reality training system will be incorporated into the Health Sciences and Emergency Services programs at Northern College, as well as utilized for the training of off-campus partners and on-campus response personnel.  Students and trainees will be able to develop knowledge and skills from the hands-on experiences they are exposed to within the simulation, and allow them to bridge the gap between what they have learned in the classroom and what they will experience in their professional careers.

A variety of scenarios can be exercised, including a hostage situation on campus, HAZMAT and CBRNE situations, structural fires, medical emergencies, and natural disasters.  As part of this contract, ETC will modify certain emergency response vehicles to more closely reflect Canadian resources.

"In acquiring the ADMS system, Northern College will be introducing a standard in disaster management training and education that did not previously exist in post-secondary emergency service programs in Ontario." said Dr. Fred Gibbons, President and CEO of Northern College. "Our students and community professionals working in the emergency service disciplines will benefit from scenario simulations that would otherwise have proven impractical to create in real life to achieve the same training value and learning outcomes. We look forward to discovering opportunities for interdisciplinary training in emergency management and the development of command and communications protocols, coordination strategies, complete with scenario debriefings."
