Similarly, the ability to update facility information, distribute policies and validate training is vital to effective emergency preparation. From floods and fires to active shooters, ARC's technology empowers facility and emergency managers with all critical emergency documents to better prepare and respond.
When disaster strikes your facility, the decisions you make in the first seconds will determine the success and efficiency of your response and recovery. And yet 86% of facilities are not adequately prepared to respond to an emergency.
Emergency Preparedness is about more than creating a plan; your facility needs the tools and resources to put your worst case scenario processes into action at a moment’s notice. First responders will be relying on you to provide vital information in real time to safely and swiftly neutralize the danger and secure the building’s occupants.
Emergency training, planning, and preparation are necessary practices for any facility. Even exceptional preparation needs the support of real-time intelligence to be it’s most effective, however. ARC’s Mobile Facilities Dashboard puts all of your facility’s critical information in the palm of your hand so you can access everything you need to recognize, respond, and recover from emergency situations.

When dealing with a disaster, every passing second can either worsen or improve the situation. Emergencies don’t slow down while you find your flipchart or hunt for a shutoff valve; in just thirty seconds, fires can grow out of control and can double in size in one minute. You need to quickly recognize the threat so you can activate and communicate your response plan.
Facility teams, on average, respond to a catastrophe every two years, and the median cost of recovery exceeds $500,000. No matter how well prepared you are, you can’t stop disaster from striking. You can, however, reduce catastrophic costs by mitigating your risks and expediting your reaction and recovery.

The success of your disaster response and recovery depends on the split-second decisions that facility managers make. Good decisions require good information with up to the minute access to real-time conditions. You can’t hide from catastrophe, but with robust planning and mobile information access, you can make informed decisions that can help to mitigate costs and prevent small accidents from turning into large-scale disasters.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) revises the Life Safety Code (also known as NFPA 101) every three years and, unlike many other safety codes, it applies to both new and existing structures. Jurisdictions throughout the United States may adopt all or part of the code and its subsequent revisions as local law, requiring all structures to comply with the updated standards in order to protect a building’s occupants and lessen the impact of fire and associated disasters.
While some emergencies will necessitate a shelter-in-place order, others will require everyone, including your security team, to evacuate to safety. With ARC Emergency, live video feeds are available on mobile devices, so leaving your post doesn’t have to mean leaving behind the critical intelligence gained through real-time surveillance. Whether evacuating to a safe refuge area or sheltering in place, you can make pivotal adjustments to your response and share surveillance directly with first responders so they can evaluate and assess the situation before entering the building.
