Corporate Crisis Management: 5 Challenges & Solutions

When an incident occurs, both incident responders and managers are faced with high volumes of information. Their priority is to bring the incident to a swift ending. This means that efficient management of information can relieve some pressure.

1. Paper-Based Information Gathering

When an incident occurs, a high volume of information is traditionally captured by completing paper-based forms by hand, which are later processed. The biggest shortcomings of the paper-based system are the poor quality of the records, a lack of contextual information, and difficulty in instantly analyzing any data captured. Digital forms allow for greater consistency and interoperability.

With D4H Incident Management, you can pre-build all of your incident or ICS forms into the system. Users can then collaboratively fill out the form, with all information updating for all users in real-time. The D4H Incident Management mobile app makes this even more convenient for work on the go.

Once a form has been completed, it can be digitally signed. Signing a form will lock it. This means that it is uneditable by you or other users. Whoever signed the form, approved it. Unlocking a form will erase all signatures on the form.
