The Challenge
In early 2010, the airport consolidated several teams that were
responsible for coordinating emergency responses, creating one
smaller, centralized team. Previously, separate records were being
kept by each team in different locations and systems. This timeconsuming method made it difficult to share crucial information
and have an accurate, coordinated view of what was happening
at the airport. It was no longer feasible to manually notify people
and accept an increased volume of calls during incidents. And,
the companys emergency notification system was not adequate
for their needs.
