Broadcast Chemical / Biological Disaster Warnings To Residents

In the event of a biological hazard or chemical spill in your neighborhood, our emergency phone service could quickly warn your community. With our emergency notification phone service, you can broadcast warning messages to thousands of households in your community warning of catastrophic disasters including chemical spills and other biological and environmental hazards.

Emergency alert messages can be simultaneously delivered in just minutes using our network of phone systems and services. Pre-recorded warning messages can be played giving households information regarding the disaster location and whether a community evacuation is planned or necessary. You can send a broadcast warning to specific neighborhoods or communities in the event of a chemical or biological disaster and provide priority delivery of these messages to those nearest the danger. Multiple messages can be delivered to different members of the community based upon proximity to the disaster area. Calls can be directed to operators that are standing by to handle special individual emergencies.

Emergency response and dispatch messages can also be broadcast seeking volunteers or special assistance from emergency personnel.

Other applications include warning residents when the danger of a chemical spill is at a high level. Travel and activity restrictions can likewise be broadcast using this service.

Chemical hazard warning messages sent to households in this fashion can be simple warnings with specific or general instructions. If the community needs feedback from the call, an interactive response can be programmed into the message allowing the person to either acknowledge the call or to contact someone. Messages can vary based upon proximity to the disaster, with different degrees of broadcast warning and instructions.

How To Use Our Emergency Alert Service?

This emergency early warning broadcast service is easy to use. Calls can be initiated from our website or can be activated by phone. If you purchase our system, activation can be initiated using our easy-to-use wizard program.

Touch Phone Activation

Our emergency notification service can be initiated by calling our emergency 800 number and interacting with our emergency IVR Services. Simply enter an account ID and password by touch phone. Once validated, you can record your message and select from any number of lists of phone numbers (such as EMS crews). That's it! We immediately start calling the individuals on the selected list playing the recorded message.

Web Activation

We also provide the same type of activation using our website. Here you also have the ability to maintain your lists as well as create new ones using our mapping systems. When an emergency arises, you simply record your emergency message offline or use our toll free phone service to record your message. Next identify your call recipients using a simple list manager or a graphical map display and send us your phone numbers via the internet. We do the rest. Visit our Web User's Guide to see how this service can be managed and initiated.



Computer Message Activation

Our emergency notification network also supports computer and web connectivity using XML technology. Thus, emergency communication can be initiated from your website or computer by automatically sending our emergency phone system a message containing a list of one or more phone numbers and a message to be sent to these individuals. The message can be text (which is automatically converted to voice) or a voice file. For further information, visit our Emergency XML messaging web page.

Touch Phone Responses

Unlike some systems that are limited by the number of lines available to perform this emergency dialing, our service is provided to you using a network of phone lines that can deliver your emergency messages much faster. Our emergency dialer and emergency notification system delivers messages to individuals or answering machines and can even allow the call recipient to make touchphone selections. This may be important if your response center requires a positive acknowledgement from the call recipient such as a emergency response team member.

Answering Machine Detection

Another advanced feature of our emergency notification phone system is its ability to not only detect answering machines, but to leave a separate pre-recorded message on this machine. Unlike most message delivery systems, we can detect the end of the answering machines greeting prompt and start playing your message immediately after this prompt.

Traditional emergency phone dialers cannot detect the difference between an individual and an answering machine. Most emergency dialers that can detect the difference simply ignore these answering machines. At best these phone systems schedule the answering machine number to be redialed later. Our emergency dialer gives you the option to select any one of these response methods.
