COMMUNICATIONS

Lessons Learned: Communication is the Achilles' heel in a crisis

Real-World Examples of Crisis Management Has Shown Short Falls in Communication & Command and Control, Over and Over Again.

"During Hurricane Ian, as 911 became overloaded with callers, residents counted on Atlas One to submit evacuation requests including photos, videos, and precise GPS location for our first responders.” - Lt. William Musante, Fort Myers PD

The words “shots fired” spread throughout the airport and triggered pandemonium as thousands of travelers, airline and airport employees began to escape from the concourses, gates, baggage claim areas, curbside loading areas, and parking garages of all four terminals at FLL - Sheriff Scott J. Israel, Broward County Sheriff. Fort Lauderdale Hollywood Airport Active Shooter Incident.

" 0:758; two explosions; 0:805; Smell of smoke, fire, and victims crying out; 08:30, Our communications went out; we thought we were prepared, but our planning, training, and communications were not sufficient." Commissioner Jean-Pierre Devos IPM - Brussels International Airport, Belgium Federal Police.

Lessons Learned

Join other authorities who have taken the step to broaden communication and collaboration with everyone in their jurisdiction. 

  • One of our highest priorities since the active shooter incident at Los Angeles International Airport, where 23 jurisdictions responded to the scene but could not effectively communicate and led to the airport being self-evacuated and shut down for over 30 hours. Further:

  • 2016, Brussels International airport had a total communication failure, yet social media prevailed, and the police had to use WhatsApp. Rumours prevailed.

  • 2017, Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport had an active shooter incident and 19 ghost shooting reports that led to casinos, self-evacuation and the airport's closing, bussing everyone offsite, and starting the following day again.

  • Sadly, we could keep going!
