In the ever-evolving world of nonprofit work, staying ahead of the curve means leveraging the right technology. For NGOs, the right tech tools are essential for maximizing impact, streamlining operations, and expanding reach. This article explores the importance of PubSafe technology for NGOs and outlines key areas where the PubSafe platform can make a significant difference.
PubSafe provides free access to the web portal. Pay for just the members of the organization that use the app. No contract, no annual fee. Activate and suspend access as needed through your app market.
Global Central Management
The digital age has revolutionized how NGO technology aids disaster response. From dispatching, to data management, NGO technology offers solutions that can streamline processes and enhance efficiency. Embracing digital transformation is no longer optional; it’s a necessity for organizations that want to stay relevant and effective in their missions. PubSafe brings several key technologies together in a single web portal for NGOs around the globe. PubSafe is built to aid NGOs in many facets of their routine and disaster operations.
Dispatch Field Team
Organizing and managing field teams efficiently is a big challenge for NGOs. Spreadsheets are often the backbone of information for a particular disaster. Sometimes people leave an organization or lose a computer with important files causing the information gathering process to start again.
PubSafe provides a cloud-based platform where registered members of your organization can input and access information that is always available with an internet connection. With information on teams, team members, and a location map, dispatching efficiency improves.
Central Mapping
Being able to locate team members and potential victims on a shared map increases situational awareness and efficiency. PubSafe combines organization members, citizens, help requests, and weather on one map for a unified view. Use the filters to view just the people or events you want to see. Hide your location from everyone or remain visible to only your organization or team. You choose the level of privacy needed to get the mission accomplished.
Contact Management
Managing contacts is a challenge for most NGOs. Sharing contact information is usual done by texting one another or using a radio. The PubSafe Contact manager centralizes contacts and member details so everyone is using and updating the same information in real time.
Volunteer Management
Volunteers may be organization members, regular helpers, or impromptu volunteers for a lost child search party. Onboarding volunteers is a challenge. Knowing who they are and where they involves a long slow process. With PubSafe, you can onboard volunteers as permament organization members or temporary volunteers in minutes. By sharing a QR code or link in an SMS message, volunteers can be onboarded in minutes, not hours or days. For impromptu voluneers, you can expire their membership in 96 hours but retain their information for future events, or fundraising. Volunteers can log their hours and activities to verify their contribution.
Member Management
Managing members is move involved than working with short-term volunteers. Members are often required to complete training so training records are needed. Also, it is important to know what resources they have, have profile and vehicle pictures and emergency contact information. PubSafe’s member management section keeps this information in the cloud for efficient administration.
Dispatching
Being able to get the right people to a help request is a cumbersome process for most NGOs. Information is less than perfect and this leads to inefficiencies and frustrations. PubSafe utilizes data collection methods to “fill in the blanks” in a way that significantly improves the accuracy and speed of communication. Dispatchers can see which responders are in the area and match their skills and resources to the help request. No more sending a swift water rescue team to handle an animal rescue in a wildfire.
Online Help Requests
We have all seen 911 go down or get overwhelmed with callers. PubSafe uses several methods to enable victims to contact NGOs to request assistance. Each organization can collect potentially hundreds of help requests through their social media and website which go directly to the organization. If one organization cannot respond, another can be given the assignment to handle. This shared response approach improves the overall outcomes in a widescale response effort.
Conclusion
Technology has become an indispensable part of nonprofit work. NGOs that embrace it can enhance their fundraising efforts, deliver programs more effectively, and measure their impact with greater accuracy. As the sector continues to evolve, staying informed about technological advancements and investing in the necessary infrastructure and training will be crucial for any NGO looking to make a lasting difference in the world.
