Situational awareness is the ability to identify, process, and comprehend the critical information about an incident as it unfolds. More simply, it is knowing what is going on around you. Situational awareness technology in a critical situation requires continuous monitoring of relevant sources of information regarding actual incidents and developing hazards.
Early Alert’s Critical Decision Support Service (CDSS) provides information and guidance (to your decision makers) during times of imminent threat from natural, technological, and manmade accidents or disasters. The recommendations we supply are based on a realistic assessment of the likelihood of hazards and vulnerabilities applicable to your unique organizational arrangement and geographic location, for a timely incident response to help protect your personnel and critical infrastructures.
There are very few governmental open-source international weather products and services. It is widely understood that most all international weather sources are produced by obtaining global models, guidance, and other private international weather providers, which are available to any subscribed user.
The difference and value of our solution is how the global/international weather products and services are customized and tailored to your business continuity needs. We continue to provide the most up-to-date international weather forecast products and services. Our products are extensively analyzed for effectiveness, accuracy, and relevance prior to issuance. Additionally, all products are analyzed for verification after issuance for additional quality control. With that said, our team will diligently coordinate with stakeholders and leadership to bridge any gaps in the continuity of the global/international weather products.
The COP is a single display of all relevant (operational) information, which our clients rely on to monitor, respond to, and manage any situation. When a credible threat occurs, our team promptly conducts a threat assessment to provide you with a COP and immediate protection recommendation(s). We communicate directly with your identified point of contact through phone, email, or other applicable methods with situational awareness alerts, updates, and special bulletins. This action is supplemented by personal consultation with Early Alert’s staff of leading experts.
Besides the COP and recommendations, Early Alert can provide a number of e-products to suit your specific requirements. Backed by the best minds in the industry, Early Alert tailors all of its products to the needs of each customer, including the wide array of email and web-based products — no “one size fits all” mentality here! In addition, Early Alert will provide a web page linked to your website (s) containing specific recommended actions to safeguard against impending hazards.
