Emergency Management

A new way to communicate with the public during emergencies

In an unpredictable world, GovDelivery’s integrated communications platform (email, text, RSS, social media) helps local, state and federal agencies inform the public before, during and after emergencies. Since the nature of most emergencies is often impossible to anticipate, these digital communication channels help relay time-sensitive information quickly, efficiently and in a cost-effective manner.

Proactive communication helps enhance community outreach and engagement by building and reaching a larger audience by targeting not only the general public, but local businesses, schools, news media, and even specific areas and neighborhoods affected by an emergency.

Some of the emergency-related topics the public expects to receive information about include:

• Oil spill response efforts
• Volunteer & job opportunities
• Air & water quality
• Terrorist events and response
• Disaster funding & claim information
• Food recalls
• Severe weather warnings (i.e. hurricanes, tornadoes)
