Why Incident Management Automation?
A reliable incident management system is imperative for maintaining control in the event of natural disasters, acts of war, or other unforeseeable circumstances. To ensure the safety of their constituents and the communities in which they live, governments must be prepared to trigger incident response protocols in a timely and impactful manner, all while minimizing disruption, panic, and chaos.
Even with thorough incident management plans in place, such vigilance requires a lot of work and coordination between disparate incident response teams and government departments, which presents the risk of confusion, misunderstandings, and delays in emergency communication. Depending on the incident, this could cause various injuries, distress, and even fatalities for those affected, and a substantial loss of public faith that their government body can be trusted in the event of another frightening event.
How, then, can governments ensure that the communities they serve receive the best protection?
SimplyCast has the answer.
