North Vancouver, BC, December 30, 2016--(T-Net)--ePACT announced that the Squamish Nation and District of Squamish has adopted the ePACT Network as part of a collaborative, cross-community resiliency initiative.
The Squamish Nation and District will use ePACT to coordinate emergency processes across organizations, and connect and communicate with residents in case of a crisis.
The Squamish Nation and District worked together to develop coordinated emergency preparedness and response processes, and officially announced use of ePACT as part of their emergency management partnership.
“We are so excited to see the innovative, collaborative approach the Squamish Nation and District have taken to community preparedness,” Christine Sommers, CEO of ePACT states. “We are thrilled ePACT can support this unique program supporting greater resilience for residents, and we look forward to supporting other municipalities interested in replicating this approach for their own communities.”
ePACT has an ability to connect organizations, families and communities overall through one network.
The Squamish Nation and District will be able to coordinate response initiatives across multiple organizations and working groups, while also sending email, text and voice messages in the event of a crisis, such as an evacuation, extreme weather warning, amber alert or road closure notifications.
