Mission-Critical Solutions for Effective Communication

The ability to maintain effective communications and continue to perform mission-essential functions is critical for any Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP). Today more than ever, agencies are expected to perform their duties in the midst of natural disasters, technological attacks, pandemics and more. Under new legislation, by early June 2011, agencies must create policies and plans for continuity of operations during natural or manmade disasters.

Agencies must be able to deliver essential services before, during and after an emergency — public health and safety and emergency response teams must have the appropriate technology to support reliable, secure, effective communication. LifeSize solutions can help ensure lines of communication within and across agencies remain open. LifeSize video solutions also provide the ability to have secure, face-to-face communications — essential when live meetings are not an option.
