Just a tiny head start can make a major impact: securing assets and saving lives with reliable early warning and rapid communication
Natural disaster crisis management with the FACT24 all-in-one solution respond quickly and securely
Let’s talk about the weather. It isn’t just a universal topic of conversation but also a critical economical factor. Although forecasts are becoming more and more accurate, climate change is increasingly bringing in its wake extreme, unpredictable natural events that call for natural disaster crisis management. The BCI Emergency Communications Report 2020 confirms Natural disasters and weather-related events are just as frequently the triggers for crises as the failure of information and telecommunication systems.
With more than 20 years of experience in crisis management, we know that two things are particularly important when dealing with natural disasters: reliable early warning and rapid action. That’s why we put a major emphasis on crisis prevention when developing FACT24. With digitised business continuity and emergency plans as well as comprehensive international crisis monitoring, natural disasters can be detected at the earliest possible moment and preventative measures taken. Automated, target group-specific emergency notifications via email, SMS, telephone, messenger or app ensure that those affected as well as the emergency services are alerted and mobilised quickly and in a targeted manner. An acknowledgement feature and extensive collaboration tools including digital task management enable clear transparent crisis handling.
As a SaaS solution, FACT24 is always available wherever you are and on a variety of devices, even when your own IT infrastructure fails. In this way, we ensure that crisis managers maintain an overview even in the most confusing of situations and remain in active communication with all relevant stakeholders. Documentation is fully automated and situation reports can be easily created in a collaborative manner. FACT24 is a tool for almost all phases of business continuity management – straightforward, digital and reliable.
“In an emergency, every second counts. If companies find out about potential risks faster, they can warn their employees earlier and take the appropriate countermeasures.“
Marcel Brandt, General Manager, A3M
