Incident Collaboration to Drive Better Outcomes
What Is Tactical Incident Collaboration?
Incident task management collaboration is the recognition that personnel in a public agency, organization, school, university, community and healthcare facility has a role to play during an event and understands what needs to be done, when it needs to happen, and who needs to take responsibility. An incident takes many forms and may not be an isolated event, as multiple situations may unfold simultaneously. At the end of the day, incidents are opportunities for collaborative discovery — for unification across a safety ecosystem made up of communities, companies, schools, and other agencies that need to navigate problems as they arise, and consistently learn and grow to help mitigate future events.

The initial moments of any event are crucial for any organization, school or community, with the early actions taken having an impact on the outcome. Immediately after an incident occurs, the only resources you have are the people who are already there and any preloaded templates or content. Where a more specialized response is required, those on-site may need to find time before those best suited can be brought into the response.
Yet providing those on hand with the key steps will ensure response moves in the right direction. Critical information is collected, mitigating the effects of the incident immediately and increasing the effectiveness of the response as experts arrive on the scene. Rave refer to this as “tactical incident collaboration,” which automates the tasks required in response and provides all employees with proactive actions to take and preloaded resources to use during the onset of an event. Immediately notifying the right people, allocating the right resources, and taking the right actions can save lives.

“We were actively setting up Collaborate to help improve the speed and accuracy of emergency notifications to better protect our patients, visitors and staff. Rave helped us prioritize tornado events due to our area forecast. Less than three hours after setting up that event, we received a tornado warning for our hospital, and Rave went into action! An NWS tornado warning was received, the Collaborate event was triggered, and the system started automatically sending messages to over 4,000 contacts…within four seconds!“
