Working with local agencies, Connecticut’s Department of Public Health provided two of its DRASH shelters to serve as a command post and first aid station to help the various first responder units at “A Salute to all of Connecticut’s Veterans.”  The shelters were originally purchased in 2005 to be part of the State’s 14,000 square foot Ottilie W. Lundgren Mobile field hospital.

DRASH was on site to support the Texas National Guard’s 36th Infantry Division at Soto Cano AB, Honduras during the Fuerzas Aliades Panamax exercise.

DRASH recently provided several shelters and generators at the Democratic National Convention.

The DRASH Heater and UST trailer line have undergone significant engineering enhancements in the third quarter of this year.

When Hurricane Gustav blew ashore around 9:30 am on September 1, 2008 near Cocodrie, Louisiana, a low lying community 72 miles southwest of New Orleans, forecasters feared that it would remain a Category 2 hurricane, blowing winds at over 100 mph. But just four hours later, it had dropped to a Category 1 as it steamed inland towards Texas.

DHS Systems has recently launched its video news release section on the DRASH.com website.

When Hurricane Dolly arrived on the Gulf Coast on the morning of July 23, the Category 1 hurricane was expected to dump up to 15 inches of rain, breach levees along the heavily populated Rio Grande valley and turn into a Category 2 with wind speeds of up to 96 mph.

ORANGEBURG, NY – Military contracting companies Northrop Grumman Corporation and Rockland County, NY based DHS Technologies have been awarded a contract worth up to $240 million to provide medium and large, high-mobility tactical operations centers that can be rapidly deployed for command, control and communications on the battlefield.

The National Guard’s first unit dedicated solely to emergency preparedness and disaster relief performed its first tactical operations command (TOC) exercise using DRASH command and control shelters in May this year.<
