Solutions for different sectors

When an incident or serious incident occurs, the problem is rarely a lack of plans. What matters instead is how quickly the right people are contacted, how clear the instructions are, and how well the organisation can coordinate its actions.

Critical communication at incidents

PDV alarm for schools

RapidReach is used to support organisations when something unexpected happens – by providing a framework for incident management and critical communication. The solutions can be used in many different types of organisations, but requirements often vary depending on the situation, responsibilities and risk profile.

Critical communication

Critical communication concerns how organisations reach, inform and coordinate the right people when an incident or serious incident occurs. The focus is on communication that is time-critical, role-based and requires follow-up.

This solution is suitable for organisations that need to ensure that the right departments are reached quickly, that information can be escalated when necessary, and that coordination functions effectively even under significant time pressure.

Incident management

Incident management describes how organisations respond operationally when an incident occurs – from the initial alert to the implementation of actions, escalation and follow-up.

The focus here is on structure, clear roles and responsibilities, and the ability to carry out actions in a parallel and coordinated manner. Incident management forms the basis for managing both routine incidents and serious incidents.

School safety

School safety requires that the school’s procedures work in practice – even under stress, uncertainty and time pressure. When something happens, instructions must reach the right roles simultaneously and be clear enough to be acted upon immediately.

RapidReach is used to support the school’s internal communication, whilst coordination alerts staff and responsible personnel functions enable silent communication when required (e.g. During armed intruder incident), and to provide acknowledgement and situational awareness within real time so that actions can be followed up and escalated where necessary.

Common scenarios

RapidReach is used in situations where time, clarity and coordination are crucial. Common scenarios in which the solutions are used in practice are described below. By focusing on specific incidents rather than functions, it becomes clearer how alert, communication and responsibilities interact when something happens.

First aid

In the event of accidents or medical emergencies, time is of the essence. First-aid scenarios place high demands on reaching the right people quickly and ensuring that actions can be co-ordinated effectively. RapidReach is used here to support alerting and communication.

Lockdown

Lockdown is used when people need to remain indoors for safety reasons, for example in the event of a threat or risk within or near the premises. For lockdown to work, information and instructions must be communicated quickly and simultaneously to the relevant staff.

Armed intruder incident (armed intruder incident)

Armed intruder incident is an extremely serious and time-critical scenario, particularly in a school setting. RapidReach is not used to deal with the violence itself, but to support communication, alerting and coordination so that the school’s procedures can be activated quickly and in a controlled manner.

Service disruption

Operational disruptions can affect availability, security and business-critical functions. In the event of serious disruptions, clear escalation and rapid communication are required. This scenario is particularly relevant to industry, energy and operations critical to society.

Schools and municipalities

RapidReach helps schools manage armed intruder incident through swift and clear lockdown and collaboration between management and staff.
