Emergency Response Management applications include:
Emergency Outreach Stay connected with employees via email or mobile push notifications. Share important
information regarding emergency and safety measures, and ask employees to report their
status and location. With the installation of Employee Readiness Surveys , you will use Emergency Outreach to send a survey link to help you evaluate whether employees are ready to return to
the workplace.
Emergency Self Report Enable your employees to report their health status. If employees report they are
going into quarantine, a workflow helps them safely return to work when ready. Functions
such as HR can also be alerted.
Emergency Exposure Management Identify employees who might have been exposed to an infectious disease by analyzing
an affected employee's meetings, locations, shifts and reservations, and badge
scans.
Emergency Response Operations Initially created by the Washington State Department of Health, the Emergency Response Operations application was enhanced by ServiceNow engineering. The application helps organizations plan and
coordinate emergency responses. It supports the operational processes of emergency
response and preparedness at the state and local government level. Government agencies
can use this application to optimize resources and staffing in critical locations.
