Problem Statement
In the aftermath of specific campus incidents and prior work done to refine active threat preparedness, weaknesses in the current emergency response communications become evident and require enhancing. There is an immediate need to develop and strengthen critical communications during crisis on our campus to reduce loss of life, personal injury and loss of property.
Objectives
- To establish a highly effective and manageable crisis communication governance and process infrastructure
- To evaluate RAVE against Everbridge and recommend a path forward
- To transform recent emergency communication interim solutions into permanent solutions
- To provide support to the current BSAS funded Proserve/Everbridge project
Success Metrics
- Process protocols and governance are utilized successfully in an emergency event or training exercise
- Initial emergency communications are consistently sent within 10 minutes of an incident
- Decision and transition plan (or not) are approved for RAVE use
