eAlarm crisis in practice
Medical emergencies
An employee finds a work colleague unconscious in the stairwell of the company building. She immediately calls the emergency response officers on her smartphone. eAlarm crisis remotely launches a pre-prepared conference call. The caller is connected to the local emergency response officers and a medical expert.
Thanks to geo-alerting, the solution immediately identifies the closest emergency response officer and how to get first aid to the work colleague as quickly as possible.
Cyberattacks
The entire corporate network has to be shut down due to a cyberattack. As eAlarm crisis operates independently of the corporate network, it can still be accessed from any device.
The employees in charge simply select the relevant alert scenario so that the crisis team can be mobilised via phone call, SMS and conference call and the next steps can be taken.
Technical alerts
Sensors in equipment and machines report even the slightest deviation in high-tech machinery reliably. The expert mobilised by the alert conducts an in-depth, on-site risk assessment. If required, the expert triggers a further alert to ensure that equipment and products are not damaged and any production interruption is as short as possible.
Fire alarm systems
If the fire alarm system detects smoke, eAlarm crisis automatically triggers an alert to the evacuation leader via app, SMS and voice call. This person goes straight to the predefined location and immediately initiates a building evacuation.
Other emergency organisations, such as the fire brigade and the crisis communication team, are also alerted to fight the fire and proactively manage any media requests.
Violent incidents
An employee is engaged in a violent incident and threatens the HR manager. Work colleagues have observed the incident and call the internal emergency number. This triggers a predefined alert scenario which notifies several security officers.
As one of the security officers is ill and reported as unavailable, an additional escalation plan is automatically launched. This second alert scenario mobilises colleagues who go straight to the scene to de-escalate the situation.
The predefined alert scenarios and escalation plans allow eAlarm crisis to issue rapid, targeted alerts. Effective fallback scenarios are stored to manage emergencies proactively and as quickly as possible.
