The Single Automated Business Exchange for Reporting Institute (SABER) is where government agencies turn to understand business conditions in an emergency. Floods, wildfires, and severe storms may threaten your business. To stay open longer and reopen faster, you're likely to need help from multiple government agencies. Local, state and federal agencies rely on SABER technology to get updates on businesses in disaster-impacted areas. They need to know the situation during and after a disaster strikes. Which businesses are open, which are closed? Where are they? And which need help and which can provide help to the community?
SABER Institute is offering
SABER Mobile by SpotOnResponse -- free of charge or obligation -- so those government agencies can get the answers they need and you can get the help you need.
Register now to get SABER Mobile and join businesses across America in slashing the time it takes to share each closure and needs update from minutes or hours to seconds. You also get access to shared data from other businesses so you can see if a crisis impacted your neighbors, or your supply chain, or if there are opportunities to help your community. Be part of your community's recovery and get back in business faster!

SABER Mobile by SpotOnResponse produces status reports to corporate headquarters and governments with only the data you want to share**
SABER Mobile makes it easy for individual business owner/operators to update everyday operational status and for larger chain store managers to keep everyone informed. SABER Mobile adds your business location to the nationwide SABER Map. During a crisis, government agencies can access all of that data 24x7 to help them prioritize and expedite response/recovery operations. Plus, you get disaster situational awareness at your fingertips to help you better prepare.
With SABER Mobile, you can quickly and easily:
-
Add your own business locations, which then appear on SABER Map, giving you national attention
-
Easily report closure status and business needs from each location to your company's operations center as well as to SABER
-
Monitor developing hazards on SABER Map -- including NWS weather
warnings, fire detection, earthquake warnings -- plus transportation incidents that could affect your supply chain -
Watch on SABER Map to see what other businesses in your area are doing during an emergency, which ones are closing and what they need, so you can potentially support each other and help the community
-
Receive notifications from the SABER Institute when government agencies need your business status reports to make their decisions
-
SABER has multiple technologies to simplify status and needs reporting from large numbers of business locations to your headquarters or regional offices during a crisis, so they can share with government agencies as needed.
SABER Mobile puts you on the map and makes you part of the solution.
The 2020 hurricane season left business closures on the SABER Map for months. Governments rely on SABER for current business status so they can get you the help you need to stay open longer and reopen faster.
