Manage Your Crisis Profile

The Crisis Profile section allows CSAP Member portal users to configure Crisis Notification call and SMS preferences according to their working hours. This section is split into three different parts in order to help users to completely configure the Crisis Notification feature preferences for complete transparency and optimal operation patterns.

Why Crisis Notification?

Crisis Notification is a structured information dissemination feature that allows security executives with appropriate permissions to send an Alert to a group or specific CSAP Member portal users. Usually, it is initiated in case of an emergency wherein the security executives want to alert the employees of the organization about an ongoing or impending crisis situation. This feature allows users who receive these Alerts to respond to and report their situation.

Crisis Notification Alerts are initiated from the CSAP Dashboard and are delivered to the users over Member portal, Mobile App, Email, SMS, and Phone calls to CSAP Member portal users.
