Emergency Response: Building a Virtual War Room

Collaboration is never more important than it is during an emergency. When first-responders and supporting agencies are responding to a crisis, they need the ability to coordinate their activities, share information and manage essential documents – and to do it all securely. These capabilities are especially important when the response involves multiple agencies working with systems that do not necessarily interoperate.

In this webcast, a subject matter expert in collaboration will discuss how to create a collaboration environment that can serve as a virtual war room, delivering critical services in a seamless environment, no matter how complex the response. The webcast will cover:

• The role of video and other innovative technologies to create a virtual meeting place for first line responders
• How agencies can store necessary documents and protocol for review before/after an emergency
• Online collaboration tools – what’s now in use, and what will be in demand in the near future
• How to train more team members faster with less impact on budgets and travel
