Critical Event Management: Preparing for the Unexpected
In today’s volatile environment, organizations must be prepared for anything. Critical event management (CEM) isn’t just about reacting to a crisis; it’s a proactive and ongoing process that begins long before an incident occurs and continues long after it’s been resolved. Comprehensive planning, rapid detection, swift response, and continuous process improvement are all essential. To achieve true operational resilience, teams must be ready, communication lines open, and processes continuously analyzed and refined.
Whether dealing with natural disasters, security threats, health emergencies, or global pandemics, Crisis24 provides robust CEM solutions designed to meet the demands of a complex world.

Proactive Risk Anticipation
Crisis24 helps organizations proactively anticipate risks. By analyzing historical physical threat data captured by the TopoONE CEM platform, trends in incident frequency and location can be uncovered, enabling proactive mitigation strategies.
Early Threat Detection
Early and accurate threat detection is crucial. Crisis24’s real-time risk intelligence and TopoONE’s data feed aggregator provide 360-degree visibility into both internal and external threats, ensuring that organizations are always aware of potential risks.
Rapid and Effective Response
When a critical event occurs, a swift and well-coordinated response is crucial to minimize disruption and ensure the safety of personnel and assets. Crisis24 facilitates this with automated incident response workflows, managing the activation, escalation, and management of response protocols.
Real-time Information Sharing and Gathering
Crisis24 helps organizations share and gather critical information instantly. The platform can locate travelers in the vicinity of emerging threats in real-time, allowing for immediate communication and assistance. Crisis24 specialists can also conduct 24/7/365 monitoring on behalf of clients, providing continuous global visibility.
Post-Crisis Recovery and Improvement
Every crisis presents an opportunity for improvement. After an event, Crisis24 helps organizations identify areas for enhancement with TopoONE’s analytics module. They also work with Crisis24 consultants to streamline processes and strengthen business continuity plans.
