Why traditional FAFS alarms often fall short

An incident always comes unexpectedly. Especially then, you don’t want to depend on loose processes or outdated communication tools.
Many organizations run into the same challenges:
Uncertainty about which FAFS person is available
Confusion due to communication through WhatsApp groups, phone calls and other loose channels
Outdated attendance lists
Limited retrospective insight into how the incident went, what actions were taken and who responded

What is FAFS alerting?

FAFS alerting is the process by which company emergency responders are informed immediately when an incident occurs. Consider, for example, a medical emergency, fire alarm, evacuation or technical malfunction.
The purpose of FAFS alerts is simple: to get the right emergency responders to the right location as quickly as possible.
Traditionally, this is done via telephones, walkie-talkies or manual call structures. Findwhere’ s FAFS alerting uses digital technology that automatically distributes notifications to available emergency responders.
As a result, organizations respond faster, more consistently and with less chance of error.

FAFS alerting with Findwhere

Findwhere makes FAFS alarms simple, reliable and scalable.
When a notification is triggered, the appropriate protocol automatically starts. Designated FAFS personnel receive an immediate notification on their smartphone. At the same time, real-time insight is created into who is responding, who is on the move and what actions have been performed.
This creates a streamlined process where people, protocols and communication come together within one platform.
