SRN, Inc. participates in the Kansas City International Airport's mock disaster drill with privacy product

SRN, Inc. (www.srn1000.com), the company that developed a portable barrier system to minimize rubbernecking by concealing accidents, recently participated in Kansas City International Airport’s mock disaster drill, a full-scale emergency exercise mandated by the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) every three years for all international airports, with the SRN1000, its most known product.

On Thursday, June 18, SRN, Inc. demonstrated the privacy screen and barrier used to protect the privacy of accident victims in reaction to a simulated airplane crash. Multiple SRN1000 systems were set up as a triage area and barricade for the victims, including the wounded, seriously wounded and fatally wounded. The arrangement provided privacy for the volunteer crash victims and their families.

The crash phone sounded at 10 a.m. CST with more than 100 people participating – from volunteers acting as injured passengers to fire responders and airport police – in the two-hour training drill. The exercises included explosions, smoke generators and debris on the airfield.

“The system provided privacy for the crash victims and allowed the fire responders to more efficiently and quickly provide medical services,” said Sal Cannova, a mock disaster drill committee member attending the exercise and the senior director of business development and federal funding for SRN, Inc. “The SRN1000 has a variety of applications, but in this drill, the system provided a barrier and shielded the fatally wounded from onlookers.”

Most recently, the SRN1000 system was used in real-life crime scenes. The barrier shielded the public from homicide scenes in Newark, N.J. and Daytona Beach, Fla.

The SRN1000 is a unique, easy-to-use and durable barricade security system that safely screens accident scenes, restricted zones and hazardous areas from public view. Weighing in at approximately 60 pounds, the SRN1000 product fits into a wheeled carrying case about the size of a typical golf bag. The system uses a series of reflective lights and magnets to create a barrier that is 6.5 feet tall and 12 feet wide.

The U.S. family-run and -operated business proudly serves law enforcement, first responders, government agencies, medical examiners, hospitals, hotels and arenas. The SRN1000 has also been used for emergency management, crime scene investigation, military operations, disaster relief and traffic and crowd control. SRN, Inc.’s mission to minimize rubbernecking nationally has reached 27 U.S. states with over 250 units sold.
