About This Webinar
Being prepared is the foundation of effective emergency management, and facility managers are at the heart of this effort. Their expertise guides individuals to safety, coordinates resources, and minimizes risks during crises. In settings like schools, offices, hospitals, and factories, having instant access to key building information is essential. However, relying on paper-based methods to prepare for emergencies is inefficient and inadequate today. To truly lead in emergency preparedness, you need a new approach.
Join us for a webinar where experts will share tips on preparing for emergencies. Learn how QModo AI can boost preparedness, reduce response times, and enhance overall safety.
The webinar will cover:
- The limitations of paper-based documentation and processes in emergency preparedness.
- Transitioning to digital documentation for more effective emergency management.
- The importance of training exercises and preparedness.
- The two pillars of facility management emergencies: maintenance issues like broken pipes and security/safety crises such as active threat incidents.
- How QModo AI Can Strengthen Your Emergency Preparedness with:
- Quick access to life safety information, emergency contacts, fire systems, training, emergency plans, and emergency maps.
- Mobile processes for action plans in various emergency scenarios such as active threat incidents, fire emergencies, shelter-in-place situations, and natural disasters.
This webinar has expired. The recording will be posted to our Newsroom shortly.
