New Jersey and New York Authorities Step Up Emergency Preparedness with EcoOnline as State Hosts World Cup Final

DALLAS & LONDON — As global attention turns to the World Cup finals in New York/New Jersey on July 19, emergency management agencies, critical service providers, and transportation authorities across the region are using EcoOnline's emergency and crisis management software to strengthen preparedness, collaboration, and response.

New York and New Jersey are among 11 of the 16 North American World Cup host states where EcoOnline software supports major event preparedness and city safety. EcoOnline, a global provider of software that is changing the way organizations protect people and the planet, is partnering with local authorities and services more than a year before the World Cup, which will culminate with the final game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.

EcoOnline's emergency and emergency management software, powered by D4H, includes emergency planning, resource management, incident coordination, and reporting. Regional clients include The Valley Hospital, St. Joseph's Health, the New Jersey EMS Task Force, and many emergency management offices in New Jersey and New York.

During a large, multi-agency response effort to a global public event like the World Cup, everyone has access to the same information and can make decisions very quickly.”Strengthening preparedness in all essential services For health care systems across the region, preparations for the World Cup are focused on ensuring that critical services remain connected under pressure. “Big events like the World Cup bring communities and tourists together at a high level. For hospitals, that means staying digitally connected, maintaining situational awareness, and quickly adapting so patient care can continue safely as conditions change.,” said Adam S. Perper, Director of Emergency Management Systems & Preparedness, St. John's Health.
