Workforce Safety in Hurricane Season: How Vismo Helps Organisations Act Fast and Stay Connected

With the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season nearly underway, organisations operating in hurricane-prone regions must prepare for recurring and unpredictable threats. While hurricanes occur annually, the increasing intensity and frequency of these storms exacerbated by climate change pose elevated risks to employee safety, operational continuity, and business resilience.

For organisations with a dispersed or mobile workforce, the ability to act quickly and communicate clearly during a crisis can mean the difference between safety and danger.

Organisations should not rely solely on weather forecasts. Instead, they must adopt a comprehensive risk management strategy that emphasises real-time communication, proactive decision-making, and technology-enabled situational awareness.

Stay Connected with Mass Notifications from Vismo

In an emergency, speed and clarity of communication are vital. Vismo’s Mass Notification solution - Vismo Notify accessible via the Vismo Secure Portal and App helps organisations to instantly send critical safety messages to individuals or groups, regardless of location.

Whether your employees are working remotely, on the road, or based in a high-risk area, you can:

  • Push alerts via SMS, email, Slack, Teams and in-app notifications

  • Automate messages based on real-time threat intelligence

  • Track message receipt and response to ensure accountability

Two-way communication can be a game-changer. Employees can confirm their status (“I’m safe” or “I need help”), share their location, and request support—all within the same interface. This not only improves response times but also reduces anxiety and ensures duty-of-care compliance.

Identify and Monitor Risk in Real Time

Our solution goes beyond messaging. It integrates live risk intelligence from trusted partners providing you with:

  • Real-time threat alerts, including storm paths, flood risks, and infrastructure damage

  • Geolocation mapping of employees in affected zones

  • Automated incident escalation workflows based on predefined rules

This intelligence is fed directly into the Vismo App, allowing your crisis management teams to see an up-to-date operational picture. You can then make evidence-based decisions about evacuations or shelter-in-place orders.

Imagine a hurricane rapidly changes direction overnight. With Vismo, you can immediately notify your team, locate impacted personnel, and help reroute them to safety.
