Emergency Notification Systems and Crisis Communication – Blog

Proper disaster and crisis preparedness is about much more than giving your organization and emergency officials the tools they need. To be truly effective at preventing and responding to a crisis situation, all organizations must create emergency protocols, procedures, and notifications and work to explain them consistently and carefully to their constituents. Additionally, officials must be sure that they have the right crisis communications systems in place to facilitate automatic communication to help, employers, school administrators, and other decision-makers share crucial information with the larger community about the unfolding event.

Regardless of what industry you’re in - education, healthcare, manufacturing, government, corporate enterprise, or hospitality - communicating effectively with busy staff and employees can always be a challenge. The stakes increase when an unexpected emergency situation occurs. In today’s society, people expect to be notified and to be provided guidance on what they should and shouldn’t do when these emergency situations transpire. In any business, of course, exceeding your people’s expectations is paramount.

Emergency notification message templates maximize the effect of your emergency preparedness plan.
