What are Announcements?

The Announcement card is used to display important information that needs to stand out when users access the ERMS tool, similar to a message or email but remains in the tool. The level of appropriateness on using the announcement to send a message is determined by the dispatch / command center. Announcements are useful for critical alerts or items that can not be done within ERMS. Those items should be reported to Grizzly Systems for possibility of future enhancements.
