How the transport industry responds to crises, from accidents involving loss of life, reputational damage, data breaches, to natural disasters, terrorism, and pandemics, is continuously evolving.

Managing the aftermath of a disaster involving victims, families and employees is an overwhelming task in an environment where standards for a fast, effective, transparent and compassionate response are higher today than it has ever been.

Challenges during an incident:

• Real-time video & eyewitness accounts spreading on social media
• Answering thousands of phone, social media and email enquiries from customers, staff, regulators, and the media
• Involvement of multiple parties, including Government agencies
• Lack of resources, especially at the scene
• Managing expectations of distressed families
• Dealing with survivors and/or disrupted customers
• Maintaining normal operations
• Personal stress for senior managers and employees, especially at the front line

These challenges can overwhelm your resources, day-to-day operations and the people in your organisation.
