Sequential manual call-outs, or “phone-trees,” require that personnel manually enter phone numbers one at a time to communicate information and rely on the recipients to pass that information along in turn. By involving so many individuals in a manual system, the PROCESS takes significantly longer than with an automated system. This also INCREASES the charge of human errors. HOWEVER, by USING an INCIDENT management systems, the entire process can be initiated by a single administrator with a few clicks of a mouse, which will also significantly reduce the risk that could potentially jeopardize the incident response.
