Emergency Managers

The Landscape

One of the limitations of many municipal risk or emergency initiatives is their strong focus on public safety as well as their inability to integrate other factors into the plan. One of the areas most closely associated with emergency planning is the tactics and mobilization response. It makes good sense to integrate new ideas into plan design, and have municipalities continually audit their plans and sharpen the tactical evacuation protocols are in place. This might involve auditing the configuration of internal space plans to maximize safety and evacuation during a disruptive event. It can also mean matching the function of a municipal role to the suitability of the facility where that activity takes place. The bottom line is that emergency planners can’t operate in isolation, and ignore protocols from other risk areas. Muni Continuity provides a platform that enables emergency managers to better integrate their activities with other key planning nodes.
