Michelle D. Coussens, Business Strategist, Plan B Consulting and Matt Schmid, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Everbridge
Extreme weather events are on the rise and will continue to cause more damage in the future. Although many organizations already have robust strategies and tactics for the mitigation and response to climate-related risks, the ability to form successful messaging and communications during threats can give an organization's leaders a strategic and tactical advantage in managing them.
Indeed, the best way to ensure operational continuity, employee safety and infrastructure security during severe weather is by implementing communication strategies and smart technology to ensure efficiency, provide ongoing awareness, and to help activate automated emergency response plans when danger arises.
Join us for an engaging and informative session, where you will gain insights on:
- The predictions and extreme weather forecasts for the second half of 2022
- What the “Assess, Locate, Act, and Analyze” model is and how it’s proven successful during severe weather
- Best practices for effective communications during severe weather events
