Communications Training Analysis Corporation (CTAC) obtained the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Government Competency, a recognition provided by AWS to those as having deep experience working with government customers to deliver mission-critical workloads and applications on AWS. A key project in obtaining this competency was with the Health and Human Services (HHS), Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR). CTAC developed an API powered AWS cloud-native easy to use “heat map” application, known as the emPower map, that provides state and local health organizations real time estimates for Electricity Dependent devices for zip code, state(s), and national counts. The emPower map integrates with National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and United States Geological Survey (USGS) to provide real-time extreme weather events and forecasts to further assist in identifying populations either at risk or potentially at risk especially during natural disasters. To ensure high availability during times of crisis with low maintenance costs, CTAC used AWS CloudFront and serverless technologies including AWS Lambda.
