Upgrade your Emergency Management and Communication capabilities

More than ever before, first responders and emergency management agencies are being asked to participate in shared incident operations, from advance preparations to post-incident follow-up. Unfortunately, legacy voice and data systems that don’t work well together can hinder communications across responding agencies, and replacing these systems can be prohibitively expensive and complex.

Fortunately, there is a way to create the open, shared voice and data systems your agency needs to deliver a mission-critical command, control, and communications capability—using products you may already have. The emergency management and communications solution delivers flexible, fully integrated communications and collaboration tools for planning, response, and reporting—in real time—regardless of communications device or location.

With the emergency management and communications solution in place, responding agencies can more easily:

Leverage existing investments in technology.
Facilitate planning, collaboration, and follow-through.
Automate workflows for on-the-ground staff and decision-makers.
Attain instant situational awareness for a more accurate and informed response.
Streamline communication between agencies and affected constituents.
Target voice-based and text-based alerting to populations of any size.
Filter and interpret vital information by location or demographic criteria—or both—providing situational awareness in a geospatial context with maps, charts, and tabular presentations.

By melding geographic information capabilities with the customer relationship management tools many private-sector businesses already successfully employ, an emergency management solution can help you transform the ways in which your agency stays in contact with responding partners and citizens affected by an incident.

If it’s vital to government, it’s mission critical to Microsoft.
