Emergency Management Software Improves Disaster Response, Recovery, And Restoration Activities
How emergency management software by qubesense helps humanitarian organizations respond to any emergency or disaster
Background
The customer is a non-profit humanitarian organization that offers aid to communities in times of emergencies, natural disasters, and health epidemics and promotes care for the weak and disadvantaged.
The organization needed to perform a disaster damage assessment to determine the most pressing needs of a population affected by a disaster or crisis. These assessments helped them determine the levels of emergency, scope, and impact of the damage caused by the disaster and the ability to help meet the immediate needs of the affected communities.
The organization sought emergency management software that would enable them to identify problems accurately, categorize emergencies, assign priority levels of crisis and incident response, and analyze trends and patterns.
Challenge
The organization relied on paper documents and registers when responding to an emergency call
The first responders did not have access to the same crisis management plan and had difficulty utilizing data on the go
The organization wanted to streamline its emergency response and crisis management, which had become fragmented with data spread across various platforms and locations
Without accurate, damage assessment, the organization could not deploy effective emergency response and interventions during crisis and disasters
Disasters often create situations that require an immediate response. Workers needed a live response and real-time emergency communication plan to respond effectively in these situations
The organization's Emergency Operation Center required disaster management software that would provide good geographical awareness, a common operating picture of the incident and its conditions, and a single incident management platform to coordinate efforts among all emergency response personnel
The off-the-shelf emergency disaster management software the organization had been using was not user-friendly or customized for its unique crisis and disaster management workflow
Data capture was challenging when connectivity was unavailable due to downed phone lines and an Internet outage
