Systems and methods are disclosed for providing personnel status tracking in crisis situations, using crisis communications management systems. In particular, the systems and methods implement personnel status tracking using unified crisis notification management to multiple users and event management.

Personnel status tracking system in crisis management situations

A method for managing crisis-related communications includes storing, in a repository, data regarding entities and data indicating relationships between entities. Crisis-related information items are received from a plurality of originating entities. Each crisis-related information item includes metadata attributes. For each crisis-related information item, a set of recipient entities is identified based on the metadata attributes, and the data regarding entities and the data indicating relationships between entities stored in the repository. For a particular crisis-related information item, a new message associated with the particular crisis-related information item is composed. The new message is distributed to a corresponding set of recipient entities identified for the particular crisis-related information item.

Crisis-related inter-organization information exchange hub

A system and a method are disclosed for predicting potential reach of an alert to a targeted audience, targeted personal delivery devices and targeted non-personal notification delivery devices in an emergency mass notification system. The system and method optimize alert deliveries based on the predicted reach.

Alert delivery optimization in crisis management situations

A system and a method are disclosed for predicting potential reach of an alert to a targeted audience, targeted personal delivery devices and targeted non-personal notification delivery devices in an emergency mass notification system. The method includes receiving recipients and alert delivery devices data which define a targeted audience and devices of an emergency alert. The method further comprises evaluating contact and configuration data targeting quality rating, tracking data targeting quality rating and real-time data targeting quality rating based on the received recipients and devices data and a data sources repository. Responsive to the targeting quality ratings and prediction weighting data (e.g., numeric weights and descriptive thresholds), the method generating one or more predictions of the potential reach of the alert based on the targeting quality ratings.

Predictive alert targeting for mass notification systems

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing personnel communications management within an enterprise or group of related enterprises during crisis situations. In particular, the systems and methods provide event management, shared situational awareness, personnel tracking, and unified crisis notification management to multiple users.

Personnel crisis communications management system

A crisis-related information hub manages the exchange of crisis-related information among multiple individual users and organizations. A safety communications service (SCS) manages information flow between users and organizations without compromising the security of the private networks of organizations protected by firewalls. The SCS manages relationship data for controlling what information is received by particular users and organizations, providing subscription services including relationship generation services based on configurable business rules. User-initiated communications are routed to multiple organizations and/or other users based on configurable business rules using user and organization attributes. Organization-initiated communications are routed to individual users or organizations based on configurable business rules using user and organization attributes. The system automatically generates follow-up communications related to the acknowledgement of receipt of communications or prompts users for additional information if an expected communication was not received in a timely manner or is not fully responsive to prior communications.

Optimizing speed and reach of mass notification alert delivery

Personnel crisis communication management system

A system and a method are disclosed for delivering an alert from a mobile device. The method comprises using a mobile device to receive an alert initiation request, where the alert initiation request includes metadata of an alert to be delivered. The method extracts the metadata from the alert initiation request and persistently stores the extracted metadata in a first storage place. The method further securely transmits the alert initiation request and extracted metadata to one or more communication systems.

Mobile device for distributed notification transmittal

A system and a method are disclosed for predicting potential reach of an alert to a targeted audience, targeted personal delivery devices and targeted non-personal notification delivery devices in an emergency mass notification system. The method includes receiving audience data which defines at least one of a set of users and a set of devices. The method further comprises evaluating a contact, tracking, or real-time targeting quality rating based on the received audience data and a data sources repository. Based on the evaluation, a prediction of the potential reach of the alert is generated and outputted.

Evaluating targeting quality ratings and predicting potential reach of alerts in a mass notification system

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing personnel communications management within an enterprise or group of related enterprises during crisis situations. In particular, the systems and methods provide event management, shared situational awareness, personnel status tracking, and unified crisis notification management to multiple users.

Personnel crisis communications management and personnel status tracking system

A system and a method are disclosed for delivering an alert from a computer system using distributed notification delivery. The method comprises using a computer system to receive an alert initiation request from an alert operator, where the alert initiation request includes metadata of an alert to be delivered. The method extracts the metadata from the alert initiation request and from its persistent storage place and persistently stores the extracted metadata in a first storage place on the computer system. The method further makes an alert initiation request with one or more communication systems based on the extracted metadata of the alert. The method securely delivers the alert initiation request and extracted metadata to one or more communication systems, which store the metadata transiently for the duration of delivering the alert, deliver the alert to multiple alert recipients tracks delivery progress and collect alert responses, reporting these back to the computer system.

Alerting system using distributed notification delivery

A system and method are disclosed for delivering an alert from a mobile alerting system using distributed notification delivery. The method uses a mobile alerting system to receive an alert initiation request from an alert operator, where the alert initiation request includes metadata of an alert to be delivered. The method extracts the metadata from the alert initiation request and persistently stores the extracted metadata in a first storage place on the mobile alerting system. The method further makes an alert initiation request with one or more remote communication systems based on the extracted metadata of the alert. The method securely delivers the alert initiation request and extracted metadata to the remote communication system, which stores the metadata transiently in a second place, delivers the alert to multiple alert recipients tracks delivery progress and reports the collected alert responses back to the mobile alerting system.
