SOS Configuration Considerations

SOS Alarm recipients:

  • Who should receive SOS alarm notifications?
    *Administrators are mandatory recipients of SOS alarm notifications
  • Will the alarm recipients be available when an SOS alarm goes off?
  • Are the responsibilities of the alarm notification recipient clearly understood in the event of an SOS?
Procedure:
  • Do you have a procedure for how SOS events should be responded to?
  • Is there redundancy built into your SOS response process?
Preparedness:
  • Have you tested your SOS escalation and response process to determine its effectiveness?
Choosing Emergency Response Contacts for GEOS:
  • Are the emergency contacts you have nominated trained and equipped to be the first point of contact in an emergency?
  • Will these individuals always be contactable at a time when an emergency could occur?
