Abstract

In some embodiments, methods and systems are provided for managing emergency notifications and incident reports at a commercial facility. A graphical interface enables a worker associated with a facility to input information regarding an ongoing/impending emergency event, e.g., Active Threat, Acts of Violence, Fire/Explosion, Injury, Power Failure, Missing Child, Severe Weather, Robbery, Hazmat, Bomb Threat, Covid-19, Store Closure, Special Events etc. This information is processed via an analytical engine that evaluates the entered information in view of various business rules in order to identify the appropriate workers to notify, and generates and transmits the notifications to the employees determined to be suitable for receiving a notification. In response to the generation of the emergency notification, an incident report engine evaluates the entered emergency, and automatically generates an incident report, which may be later accessed and/or modified by workers having a suitable employee access level.
