Genesys Cloud enables emergency group creation for managing call routing during critical events such as fires, natural disasters, and power outages. Users can create emergency groups through the Admin interface by navigating to Menu > Orchestration > Routing > Emergency Groups, which requires specific permissions for Add, Edit, View, and Delete functions. The creation process involves assigning a unique name to the emergency group, which appears in the Emergencies page listing. Emergency groups integrate with call routing systems and can be associated with call flows and routes to modify routing behavior during unplanned or semi-planned critical situations. The system provides activate and deactivate features that allow users to test emergency group functionality before actual deployment. Once created and activated, emergency groups enable quick modification of routing behavior to efficiently redirect calls during emergencies.
