CrisisGo

Schools, workplaces and local agencies tend to hold their safety plans, alert tools and incident records in separate places, which slows everyone down when something happens. CrisisGo pulls those pieces into one place as a safety communication and incident management platform, so a school office, a company security desk or a city agency works from the same plan and the same alerts. The company's current site frames the idea as shared responsibility: organizations prepare together, respond together, recover together and keep improving afterward.

Alerts and communication

Notifications reach the relevant people ahead of an event, while it unfolds and in the aftermath, from any device. A push-to-talk integration with a rugged mobile handset pairs a simple emergency SOS button with two-way communication, working as a panic button for drivers and first responders. Staff check-in features and reunification tools are also part of the offering, along with visitor management.

Planning and readiness

Emergency plans, assessments, inspections and drill records sit in one place, so teams can be prepared for everyday operations and critical incidents. The company has run a blog on school safety, discussing a view that systems, policies and people are three pillars which must work together, and the importance of a safety culture.

Coordinating a response

When an event is under way, incident command, live messaging and where-is-everyone information give responders a common operating picture. Behavioral and mental health safety is a distinct strand, with tools to identify risks, communicate about them and engage with people early. Employee protection is described as covering both physical safety and mental health.

Connected communities

A newer emphasis is connecting schools, first responders, agencies, healthcare providers, businesses, local government and partner organizations. They share information through governed relationships, and CrisisGo says each organization keeps control of its own data. Customers named in its materials are mainly in education, and it works with a youth safety foundation on school safety programs.

CrisisGo is a safety communication and incident management platform. It helps organisations get ready for security threats, deal with them as they happen and learn from them afterwards.
