Tips to Protect Your Workplace with Vector LiveSafe

  1. Send a Vector LiveSafe broadcast message to notify employees and staff about any office closures, delays, or safety advisories due to the hurricane or tropical storm. Remember you can send broadcast messages via text message, email, or LiveSafe app push notification.

  2. Emphasize that while the office may be closed or business operations may be impacted during storms, Vector LiveSafe is still working to keep your community safe. Employees and staff can still share reports using Tip Submit, use the Safety Map and SafeWalk, and access important company resources via the LiveSafe Mobile App.

  3. Use geofencing to provide targeted messages to different groups of your enterprise based on geography. If you have offices, employees, or operations across different locations, geofencing will allow you to specifically reach users in affected areas.

  4. Evaluate current hurricane and tropical storm planning and evacuation strategies to determine if any updates are necessary in light of COVID-related operational changes. Update any hurricane and tropical storm planning and evacuation information in the “Resources'' section of the LiveSafe Mobile App.
