Playbooks - Crisisworks Better Practice Guides

These Playbooks have been developed to help you get the most out of Crisisworks. Think of them as your go-to ‘Better Practice Guides’ for navigating through your emergencies. They’re here to help you bridge the gap between your council’s emergency procedures and the technical know-how of Crisisworks. We have also listed below our range of training videos to complement these guides - these videos are available exclusively to Crisisworks users and can be accessed via the Help menu in Crisisworks.
