Arkansas Business recently showcased how CTEH is redefining disaster response through science, technology, and innovation. The article details how our team is tackling increasingly severe natural and man-made disasters fueled by climate change.
From the record-breaking floods and tornadoes in Arkansas to wildfires scorching thousands of acres, the demand for rapid, safe, and scientifically sound disaster response has never been greater. That’s where CTEH steps in.
Key highlights from the feature include:
- Cutting-Edge Robotics: Our partnership with Paradigm Robotics and the deployment of the FireBot—a rugged, heat-resistant robot capable of entering dangerous fire zones—allow us to gather critical data while keeping people safe. FireBot is equipped with over 20 sensors measuring fire temperatures, smoke levels, humidity, and hazardous chemicals, transmitting real-time data from up to a mile away.
- Remote Sensing & Telemetry: CTEH is developing advanced systems that allow environmental sensors to transmit data through harsh conditions, enabling our scientists to monitor disaster sites remotely and reduce risk for field teams.
- Low-Code Data Solutions: Our data experts, like Ashley Reardon, are leveraging low-code platforms to rapidly build custom systems that manage and visualize massive volumes of data gathered during crisis response. This helps translate complex data into clear visuals for toxicologists and affected communities, fostering trust and informed decision-making.
Jonathan Barket, CTEH’s Director of Research and Development, sums up our mission best:
“A lot of it has been building tools we can adapt to a situation quickly… so whatever the problem is, we can put the data in front of the right people, they can review it and keep people safe.”
As climate challenges intensify, CTEH remains committed to developing high-tech solutions that keep our clients, communities, and responders safe.
