Myth 4:

Access to necessary tools is limited to operators within the facility.

Myth Buster:

In emergencies, it’s crucial to share information with key stakeholders inside and outside the command center—including executives and other teams—to make swift, informed decisions.

The Reality of Critical Decision-Making

In critical moments, timely and informed decisions can mean the difference between minimizing damage or compounding a crisis. Effective emergency response requires collaboration beyond the confines of the control room. Stakeholders such as senior executives, field team members, physical security staff, and local authorities need access to real-time information to ensure a swift and coordinated response.  

Imagine an incident occurs, and while the operators in the utility control room or corporate fusion center have full transparency, critical decision-makers outside the facility are left in the dark. Without streamlined communication and data-sharing, valuable minutes are wasted—minutes that could prevent injuries or mitigate damage.
