When an unforeseen critical event strikes, your organizations must respond at lightning speed to get ahead of the situation. Traditionally, many decision-makers and executives use manual crisis management plans to decide on actions and responses. However, these hard-copy plans don't sustain real-time response, updates and collaboration. Given the limitations of manual critical event management, many organizations are digitalizing their crisis management plans to ensure agile responses and effective incident management.
Here are six compelling reasons why your organizations should digitalize crisis management.
Why Should Crisis Management go Digital?
- Ability to Manage an Incident Outside Business Hours
With a digital critical event management solution, you can be alerted instantly and mobilize the team quickly, whether you are in the office, working from a remote location or elsewhere. For 24/7 incident management, a digital platform makes it easy to make sure that the right people are on call or activated at any time. - Everyone Gains Instant Situational Awareness
It’s critical to act quickly during the first minutes of any incident. With a digital critical event management solution, everyone can move from instant situational awareness to coordinated action quickly. Moreover, real-time updates make sure everyone stays on top of the situation as it unfolds. - Manage Crises Regardless of Geographic Location
Geography should not hinder good crisis management. Through digital management, you will know the exact geographic location of the incident and who is available to respond. Manage the crisis from wherever you are! - Map and Allocate Personnel and Resources in Real-Time
Geography should not hinder good crisis management. With digital maps, you can pinpoint the exact location of any incident, identify who is available to respond and allocate the right location-based resources. Location-based knowledge and management enables greater speed and efficiency in response to any incident. - Digital Solutions Turn Time-Stamped Logs and Other Data into Customizable Reports
Time-stamped logs track the assignment and completion of tasks by responders and other personnel in real-time. This information is available to manage the event and archived for subsequent review. Customizable reports can be easily generated, whether to provide a status update or conduct a post-incident review. - Multi-Channel Communications & Updates
A digital solution enables personnel to work together using text, phone, video and messaging for secure, real-time collaboration. Now it’s easy to deliver a fully coordinated response.
Previously our approach was largely reactive, relying on a pay-to-play model and annual safety checks. When an event occurred, the University Air Center team would need to pull out binders, consult documents and make calls–this was time-consuming and not especially well organized. But today, with RAYVN, the University Air Center has found a critical event management solution that supports workplace safety and enables a real-time response to any incident with confidence.
