General

What is EMALSYS?

The Emergency Alert System (EMALSYS) is a roster management tool designed for organizations involved in emergency response. It assists with managing, mobilizing, and deploying staff to the field.

Who is this system designed for?

EMALSYS has been primarily designed for humanitarian organizations to manage their emergency response teams more effectively. It can be used by any organization dealing with crisis management deploying staff to the field. The tool also works for internal and external pools of consultants/staff.

What does EMALSYS do?

It provides a tool for managers to better coordinate and mobilize staff or consultants. It allows roster member to keep in touch with their rosters, keep their profile up-to-date and be ready for deployment in case of emergency.

Why is this needed?

Through extensive consultations with leading INGOs, UN agencies, and government bodies, we are aware there is a lack of technological tools for coordinating humanitarian response.

It is a complementary tool for current working practices and can be easily integrated into organizations.
