Introduction to Emergency Management Operations

Emergency Management Operations can be used to manage incident operations and maintain situational awareness during emergency response and recovery phases.

The solution provides an integrated suite of role-based apps that helps emergency response personnel (for example, duty officers, field operations, incident commanders, and public information officers) share information as they perform the unique tasks required to accomplish incident objectives. Emergency Management Operations is typically implemented by emergency management agencies that want to use shared information during emergency response and recovery operations.

The Emergency Management Operations solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you to identify an emergency incident, define the impact, allocate resources, and communicate status to internal and external stakeholders.
