Train accident: keeping passengers and families informed promptly

In the event of a serious train accident, there is a great deal of uncertainty and little clarity. CrisisRadar helps transport operators, ProRail and safety regions to provide passengers, families and the press with information quickly and clearly.

The scenario

What happens

A train collides on a section of track and derails. There are injuries and the line is immediately closed. Emergency services arrive at the scene and the section of track is out of service for the time being. Passengers on and around the train want to know what is happening and how they can continue their journey. Families are seeking reassurance about their loved ones. At the same time, pressure from the press and social media is mounting rapidly. A single, clear source of information is needed.
