How Your Organization Can Benefit from Proactive Planning

Proactive planning can mean the difference between a well-handled situation and a full-blown crisis.

The Importance of Planning in Critical Events

When it comes to managing critical events, planning is the backbone that supports all other actions.

The Role of Information in Incident Management

In the high-stakes world of incident management, information isn’t just power—it’s a lifeline. Timely and accurate information can be the difference between a well-managed incident and a chaotic situation that spirals out of control.

How Timely Information Can Make or Break Crisis Management

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill serves as a case in point. The lack of timely information during the initial stages led to delays in containment efforts, exacerbating the environmental impact. In contrast, during the 2019 Notre-Dame Cathedral fire, real-time information allowed firefighters to save most of the structure and its invaluable artifacts.
