To be effective, public security
organizations need IT
solutions for emergency
management that are fully
integrated and provide endto-end
support. This includes
support for call handling and
resolution, rostering, and
resource management – as
well as for geographic information
systems, mobile
systems, knowledge management,
and analytics.
like the assessment phase, the prevention
phase includes day-to-day
operations such as identity management,
border protection, immigration
control, policing, and intelligence. It
encompasses such diverse elements
as regulation and legislation, compliance
and prevention, safety standards,
and best practices. It also includes
inspections, licensing, enforcement,
and prosecution. Specialist skills and
knowledge may be used to develop a
public safety culture and leadership
that actively manages and mitigates
risk.
The preparation phase is the most
intensive in terms of resources, functions,
activities, technology, personnel,
and organizational reach. It involves
putting the appropriate strategies,
struc tures, and organizational responsibilities
in place so that national, regional,
and local agencies are ready for any
type of hazard or threat. With effective
preparation, the emergency response
community can avoid, reduce, or delay
emergencies and recover from them
quickly.
Key process support for the prevention
and preparation phases includes:
Organizational management. The solutions
include robust functionality for
personnel management, equipment
management, and organizational development.
They can help you create new
organizations, recruit and hire personnel,
track personnel performance, and
develop personnel skills.
