Disaster/Emergency Response
Gather and Disseminate Critical Data Without Delay
Digital form and workflow automation solutions instill the nimbleness agencies need to respond to crises quickly and keep the public up-to-date on the most current developments.
Challenge
So much important information is coming in from multiple sources during a natural disaster or public emergency. Municipalities are under immense pressure to aggregate, verify, and release pertinent details post haste.
Solution
The SimpliGov platform helps state and local governments take control in emergency situations and inform the citizenry expediently by helping to:
- Gather critical data, such as:
- Impacted area (streets, neighborhoods, longitude/latitude coordinates, UTM coordinates)
- Resources deployed
- Residential, commercial, and public property threatened/damaged/destroyed
- Number of endangered citizens (injured, dead, trapped, missing, evacuated, sheltered, sheltering in place, quarantined, requiring immunization, etc.)
- Threat status
- 12-, 24-, 48-, 72-hour timelines for expected containment, spread, and deployment of additional resources
- Instantly integrate data submitted from emergency responders, field workers, NGOs, volunteers, office personnel, and other sources
- Present relevant data to communications departments and press secretaries for speedy creation of press releases and public service announcements
