Introducing H.E.A.T., A Timely Security Solution for the Upcoming Hurricane Season
St. Petersburg, FL (ContentDesk) May 26, 2006 -- Grand ISS, a global provider of security, risk mitigation, and investigative solutions, announced today the launch of its H.E.A.T. (Hurricane Emergency Action Team) project.
By leveraging our security platform, we assembled an expert group of mobile professionals dedicated to playing a major defense role against hurricane-associated incidents, stated Steven Purl, COO of GRAND ISS.
In the wake of an active 16-storm forecast, the idea is to build safeguards that protect property and assets with the spotlight on emergency security and preparedness.
Grand ISS is in the business of anticipating and responding to security challenges, and the fallout from events of recent years inspired the strategic H.E.AT.
initiative, he said.
Hurricane preparedness goes beyond personal safety which is the number one priority; there are criminal dynamics that cannot and should not be dismissed.
In todays post-Katrina and Rita environment, many have come to rethink their approach to security.
Residential facilities, high rise condominiums, hotels, housing developments, industrial parks, warehouse storage facilities, retail stores, shopping malls, office parks, financial buildings, hospitals and medical complexes are all at high risk.
H.E.A.T. provides a proactive and reactive solution with a three-phased strategy that carries out planning, protection & recovery activities.
The project embeds armed security personnel onsite before, during and after the storm; clearly identifies properties as being actively patrolled to reduce the threat of vandalism and theft; and ensures interaction with law enforcement to prevent violence and control damages.
Hurricanes are stressful enough.
When you are unable to be around& when power, communication and/or transportation are disrupted& when law enforcement is over-extended& H.E.A.T. is there to help protect your properties and assets that need protecting, Purl said.About Grand ISS Grand ISS is a privately owned, full service risk mitigation, security and investigative company delivering customized solutions to multi-industry corporations, law firms, insurance companies, governments, individual clients, and non-profit entities worldwide.

Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island was the first ecologically-planned destination in The United States. Light pollution ordinances are in effect across the island to protect the habits of the loggerhead turtles which sometimes confuse the lights of dwellings and street lights with that of the ocean. Protections are in place to protect the beautiful live oaks and palmetto trees which cover the island. Salt marshes, beaches and lagoons remain in pristine condition across the island. While modern conveniences such as shopping malls and five star hotels are widely available; care has been taken to blend these structures into the native ecology as much as possible.The 2.5 million travelers who arrive annually to Hilton Head Island find an infinite variety of activities and reasons for visiting.

Personal Digital Darkroom
Why a digital darkroom?First of all this is a misnomer. You actually don't need a darkroom. All that you need to have is a space for a printer and if you're still using film, a film scanner. You need not set aside a large chunk of your time in developing your pictures since color and tonal adjustments are simple and precise. Although there still are complexities in colors using digital printing unlike the black and white darkroom printing, the print output of this new process is fast approaching...
