• Lower plan update and distribution costs and effort

• Lower Labor costs through more outreach and volunteers

• Less expensive Training

• Lower Costs for Test and Evaluation

• Fewer mistakes

• Fewer things falling through the cracks

• Improved Efficiency

 

Imagine…

• Disaster and Outage Plans (roles, tasks, instructions, escalations)  being predefined so they can be loaded for training or actual incidents, and reused or be an initial template for plans across the country

• Ability to be able to locally store (or easily carry/ship) Systems-in-a-Box to quickly deploy and expand into new and existing facilities in response to an outage or disaster (for public and private sectors)

• Automatic download of instructions, tasks, and help for volunteers and staff to perform their tasks in their native language, as well as material in other languages to help communicate with the population

• Cross-Area High-Availability Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Audio/Video Communications for staff, volunteers, and general public

• Ability to track and manage emergency services for the general population by area and individual

• Ability to identify and take care of “at risk” individuals that require additional help

• All of these at lower costs for the Emergency Response Organizations, while providing additional community services when they are not needed for an emergency
