==Other works== In addition to its government work, JPL has also assisted the nearby motion picture and television industries, by advising them about scientific accuracy in their productions. Science fiction shows advised by JPL include ''[[Babylon 5]]'' and its sequel series, ''[[Crusade (TV series)|Crusade]]''. JPL also works with the [[Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate]] (DHS-S&T). JPL and DHS-S&T developed a search and rescue tool for [[first responders]] called FINDER. First responders can use FINDER to locate people still alive who are buried in rubble after a disaster or terrorist attack. FINDER uses [[microwave radar]] to detect breathing and pulses.<ref>Cohen, Bryan.
