Alarm peak

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The alarm tip (reporting head) is a term used by authorities and organizations with security tasks and denotes a person or a group of persons of a BOS who is notified by a higher-level facility in the event of an alarm and who in turn takes on further alarms for the respective subordinate areas .

An alarm peak is therefore a relief for the higher-level facility because it (ideally) only has to alert one or a few alarm peaks (which takes little time) and can leave the further alarming of the subordinate units to the respective alarm peak. After that the parent body may again use events dedicated.

Typically, alert peaks consist of representatives of an organization at their respective level (federal / state / district / district) and take over the further alerting within their organization.

advantages

  • Time savings for the higher-level facility: it only has to carry out an alarm to alarm a large number of other areas
  • Constant availability: an alarm tip can ideally always be reached via the same communication channel (telephone, fax, mobile phone, pager, etc.). Only the staff who can be reached via this route take turns.
  • Fixed interfaces: the higher-level facility does not need to know at what point in time which subordinate grouping can be alerted via which route. This is done by the respective alarm peak.

requirements

  • Hierarchical structure: it, who each must be clearly regulated over- and under is ordered.
  • Safe accessibility: the alarm tip must always be accessible via the specified route. So divorce z. B. private cell phones as an alert path.
  • Current alarm plans: the alert tip must have current alarm plans so that it can take over the further alarming itself.
