ADMS-US is an emergency and disaster management simulator which offers a realistic environment to train first responders, on-scene commanders, and incident command teams.

ADMS-US comes with a variety of incident scenarios ranging from traffic accidents to large-scale disasters. ETC's signature technology blends physics-based simulation, embedded artificial intelligence, accurate animations, photo-realistic graphics, and ambient sounds. ADMS enables first responders and emergency managers to train and rehearse in a cost-effective, safe, and environmentally friendly way.
