In May 2021, Disaster Technologies Incorporated and the Crisis Technologies Innovation Lab (CTIL) announced that they had been awarded a $2.3 million contract from the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center. As part of the contract, the two organizations will support a project to use data and performance science to improve COVID-19 health care and develop insights into how data can be used to enhance disaster prep and recovery in general.

Disaster Technologies and CTIL (the latter of which is a partnership of Indiana University's University Information Technology Services and the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering) will partner with other leaders in academia and the public and private sector to complete the project. Partners include Organizational Performance Systems and Data2Discovery.

The project is part of the National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network, which is working to increase the availability of expert medical advice delivered via network-enabled mobile devices. For its part in the collaborative project, Disaster Technologies Incorporated will contribute its data science capabilities and decision support technologies.

Tuesday's Children Enters Third Decade

A New York-based investment professional, Roger Coleman leads Coleman Ventures and Coleman Group Partners and Disaster Technologies Incorporated. In addition to his professional pursuits, Roger Coleman gives back to the New York community as a board member for Tuesday's Children.

Launched in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, Tuesday's Children oversees various programs and services for families affected by the events of 9/11 and post-9/11 military service. As it enters its third decade, the nonprofit group is looking back on 20 years of service while continuing to support the 9/11 community with programming and resources.

On September 10, 2021, representatives of Tuesday's Children were invited to Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square to ring the New York Stock Exchange opening bell in honor of the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Following the opening bell ceremony, Nasdaq observed a minute of silence and displayed messages of remembrance in Times Square for those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks.

Tuesday's Children also marked the 9/11 anniversary with family outings, a virtual 5K run and walk, and a flag unfurling at a Major League Soccer match, among other events. More information about Tuesday's Children and the many ways they support the 9/11 community is available at www.tuesdayschildren.org.
