Why Virtual 3D Emergency Management

Unless you experience working remotely on a Virtual Reality 3D platform you likely won’t understand how it creates a sense of togetherness. And it may be hard to grasp how you can access new training markets and resources.

The Hazardscape Virtual Hub is powered by Virbela. Virbela brings people together to work, learn, meet, and train in an immersive virtual world – from anywhere. Currently, there are about 40,000 virtual workers that are part of this world.

Regardless of physical distancing restrictions and lockdowns Hazardscape will keep its global office as 100% remote.

And we are developing the plans and procedures for a real Virtual Emergency Coordination Centre. Meet in private areas, never run out of space, exchange documents, sent text messages, and share your desktop and webcam on one of our 96 web boards.

What are some of the things we are doing in the Virtual Hub?

  • Workshops with groups walking to pre-set breakout rooms

  • Posting unlimited sticky notes

  • ICS training

  • Weekly hub huddles

  • Running into others by accident, having chance encounters

We are working too but a lot of the time is spent having fun, chatting, and learning about each others capacity and capability so we can work on joint projects, build our networks and be more resilient.

We will still travel and attend conferences, drive to Calgary to meet with clients, and go for coffee…but for high-stakes and ad-hoc meetings, the majority of our coaching and training, networking, and other supports we will be in the Hazardscape Virtual Hub.

We deliver our services through 36 offices, two training rooms, a meeting room, and eight common areas. And scaling up will take three clicks of a button and cost less than a one-month commercial real estate lease for an office of 50 staff. This is why we can provide premium services lower than anyone who is paying for a monthly $7,000 - $25,000 brick-and-mortar lease with maintenance and janitorial services.

A virtual office is not the 100 percent solution but it is our 90% solution……because we still want to travel. I can say with confidence, people who were skeptical about online training 12 months ago can’t stay out of the Hazardscape Virtual Hub today….especially since we started training ICS in it.

The only way to fully understand the capability of working in a world class system is to try it out which is why we provide 60 days free. No Credit Card Required. No sneaky auto-renews. Fully functional membership.
