Nothing exposes poor communications planning or capabilities like a crisis. Communication and public safety during major disasters such as hurricanes, fires, floods, bombings, and other crises should not be compromised by the time it takes to figure out how to contact key personnel. Nor should these situations be complicated by attempting to locate and direct residents to safe areas. The 3n InstaCom™ mass notification system simplifies your ability to execute normal operations and incident management.
Improve Public Safety Preparedness, Response, and Coordination
Detailed plans for Continuity of Government (COG) and Continuity of Operations (COOP) are now mandated features of government at all levels. Disaster management planning, however, is not just about activating evacuation shelters and distributing emergency supplies. Without rapid, coordinated communications, even the best disaster management plan is virtually ineffective. The 3n mass notification system enables government organizations to:
- Reach thousands immediately with critical information. Rapidly and reliably disseminate critical information and instructions to multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary agencies, mobilize first responders, incident command teams and volunteers, and keep elected officials informed. Relay emergency instructions to residents and businesses, even when business or regional communication systems are damaged. Because 3n’s system can be accessed via phone, internet, or your own system, you don’t need to be in your office to initiate a broadcast.
- Maximize communication channels. The 3n mass notification system delivers messages across all communication platforms and will cycle through communication devices until the message is delivered.
- Improve emergency response times and coordination efforts. Preparedness always results in improved response and recovery. With 3n’s scenario management tool, streamline and accelerate team mobilization, deployment, and coordination of first responders, disaster recovery teams, and volunteers, even as an event escalates to Unified Command, with efficient and accurate outreach capabilities.
- Send geographically targeted notifications to businesses and residents in specific locations. The 3n mass notification system enables government officials to issue evacuation notices, emergency instructions, and other messages to businesses and residents in a specific geographical area.
- Improve community preparedness and participation. The 3n mass notification system can help communities empower their citizens and businesses to be fully aware, trained, and practiced on how to respond to threats and hazards by using the system during routine planned drills and exercises. The public will learn to recognize and react to an alert and how to respond to calls for volunteer programs and surge capacity requests.
- Comply with Homeland Security Target Capabilities. As local first responder agencies seek compliance with the National Preparedness Plan and NIMS, implementation of the 3n mass notification system satisfies key components of several DHS Target Capabilities, including Citizen Evacuation and Shelter in Place, Emergency Public Information and Warning, and others.
- Manage communications during disasters of any size and scale. The 3n mass notification system is a highly scalable communication tool able to match any size disaster and capable of handling simultaneous incidents in multiple locations.
- Relieve key personnel from cumbersome manual tasks. Automate time-intensive, error-prone, manual processes to enable your staff to focus on important crisis management tasks instead of wrangling with untrackable communication logistics.
- Facilitate interagency communications. Instant telephone conference bridging empowers government organizations to locate and communicate with federal, state, and local agencies, emergency team members, and other key players.
