Emergency Management App (EMApp)

Our philosophy

John F. Kennedy once noted that, "when written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity."

You’re on-call:

Emergency Management App - the reason:

When it comes to emergency and crisis management, for years, it is my opinion we have been moderately sidetracked regarding our support efforts towards our ladies and gents in the field in making their work easier, quicker and more effective. This was mainly due to 'new' emergencies, new technology (pigeon, fax, email, whatsapp, etc) and the desire to manage everything and inform everyone from every level of incident coordination.

If anything, we have always learned that we should fight as we train, we should stick to K.I.S.S. and we should always do what we know and do best. Hence, avoiding 'new' procedures, plans and activities as much as possible, just to be able to respond adequately for that one specific crisis and emergency.

Obviously, my point here is, even though our efforts are admirable, we most definitely fail on point four, if not at all four.

The reason for the app, therefore, is to bring back the focus of incident management to the first three points and re-empowering our incident commanders, crisis managers, etc, to the point where they can focus on their response work in the field, based on their education, training, experience and not predominantly on a checklist, template or the mere pressure to communicate and report.

In a nutshell, EMApp will help you:

•  Create one operational picture without losing information due to misinterpretations or mistakes.
•  Create overviews of casualties and resources 'on-the-go'.
•  Save time briefing colleagues.
•  Save time creating 'sitreps'.
•  Save extra talk-time over the radio.
•  Produce reports at the touch of a button.

An innovative approach requires a non-conventional presentation. Hence, here is a link to an animation describing for whom this software is meant and what it will solve.

I'm convinced that those who can relate to this video will be interested in EMApp and the EMApp Command Centre module and will surely want to learn how it can support them improve coordination, communication and reporting of incidents and large-scale events.
