bewarnd brings both together in one piece of software: the crisis management that lets you prepare teams, roles and procedures and run an incident from the first report to the debrief, and the alerting that gets through by app, SMS and email within seconds when it counts.
Almost every local authority and every larger company has an emergency and response plan. The trouble is: it sits on paper, the phone list is two years old, and when things go wrong reports arrive through four channels at once, phone, email, chat, someone shouting down the corridor. The first thirty minutes decide how big the damage gets. That is exactly when a shared picture of the situation is missing most.
Crisis management is not a tool for the emergency alone. It is a cycle, and bewarnd covers all of it.
Set up the crisis team, define roles and deputies, store scenarios as playbooks, make documents and situation maps available. It all sits in one place instead of in folders, inboxes and people's heads.
One click, the team is alerted, the incident is live, the playbook is running. Phase control guides everyone through the procedure instead of leaving someone to improvise.
The incident log builds itself as you go: every decision, every message, every timestamp. That lets you debrief the incident and evidence it to regulators, insurers and boards.
An incident runs in phases. How many there are and what each one involves is yours to define, everyone on the team can see where you currently stand.
Individuals, whole departments or several sites at once, with feedback on who received and confirmed the message, and who did not.
The live incident with phase control, status and the assigned team. Everyone can see where things stand and what comes next.
Reports and sources in real time in one place, including warnings from the German weather service and the NINA hazard alert system, so the situation does not reach you by detour.
Several maps with their own annotations, full screen for projection in the operations room and a print view for those who prefer paper in front of them.
Contacts, roles, deputies and inventory maintained centrally. Who holds which function is settled before the first phone call comes in.
Alert plans, checklists and briefing notes with version history, plus a complete audit log that records every decision with its timestamp.
Damage sites, road closures, assembly points and available resources sit in one shared picture instead of in four different heads. Change something and it changes for everyone: projected in the operations room, on a phone out in the field, and as a print view for those who prefer paper.
You can keep several maps per incident, each with its own annotations.
Illustrative example, not a real incident.
Other systems can send alerts too. What bewarnd adds is the ability to simulate an incident in full. You build your own scenarios and play them through with your real crisis team, on the same platform, with the same roles and the same procedures as in a genuine incident.
Not a tabletop exercise on a flipchart, but a drill inside the system. Afterwards you do not know whether your concept works on paper, you know whether it works in your organisation.
Power outage, cyber attack, flooding, production standstill, active threat: create, adapt and reuse them. Templates from the library give you a starting point.
The simulation runs inside the system but is unmistakably flagged as an exercise. Nobody confuses it with a real incident.
An exercise produces a complete log as well. Next time round you can see in black and white what has improved.
Administrative and operational staff work from one shared picture of the situation. Warnings from the weather service and NINA come in directly, internal communication and messages to the public stay consistent, and the log carries you through every debriefing in the council afterwards.
Several sites, shift work, distributed responsibility. The crisis team is rarely complete in one room, so the situation has to live somewhere everyone can look at it. For operators of critical infrastructure, the duty to provide evidence carries particular weight.
When the mail system is affected, you need a route that does not run through it.
Warning, situation map and responders in one place.
Power, IT or production, the people in charge are brought together within seconds.
Instructions with feedback on who received and confirmed them.
We walk through the system using a scenario that genuinely affects you.
Roles, deputies and contact details, the basis for everything else.
Your most likely incidents as playbooks, from templates or built from scratch.
A guided simulation shows where it stalls and what you already have covered.
We match technical specifications, modules and pricing to your organisation in conversation, a local authority needs a different setup than a company with five sites. You get a named contact rather than a ticket system, from the demo through the setup to the first exercise.
If the answer is a shrug, a conversation is worth having. We will walk you through bewarnd using an incident that fits your organisation, with no obligation.
