NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Hornets and RallyPoint Workforce Continuity Services announced a partnership that will not only provide the entire Hornets organization with an emergency communications plan, but will also promote the importance of emergency preparedness to all New Orleans area businesses this hurricane season.
RallyPoint’s program allows the Hornets to instantly communicate with and account for all employees in the event of an emergency, and enables the Hornets to maintain continuity of operations during a crisis. By implementing RallyPoint, the New Orleans Hornets will be able to rapidly and effectively recover from any event affecting normal business operations.
“Our partnership with RallyPoint is just one way we can prepare our entire franchise for an emergency,” said Hornets Vice President of Information Technology Tod Caflisch. “Communicating with each employee and maintaining business functions are of the utmost importance during a disaster, and RallyPoint offers a great plan that fits our needs.”
By partnering with the Hornets, RallyPoint hopes to share important preparedness information to the New Orleans community so that businesses see the need to ensure communications and accountability with their staff during an emergency.
“We are very excited to have the Hornets as a part of our network,” said RallyPoint CEO Claude Bethea. “The Hornets are a household name in New Orleans, and I think they can really help us to make other businesses in our region aware that they cannot afford to ignore the need for communication and accountability within their workforce, especially during this upcoming hurricane season.”
