Emergency Notification Systems

This is our emergency notification section of the technical library which presents information and documentation relating to Emergency Notification Systems and Disaster Recovery Applications. Our emergency broadcast and alert service can deliver a large number of phone calls using thousands of digital phone lines simultaneously. Should a snow storm, wild fire or flood hit your area, we can alert your community quickly providing specific instructions if an evacuation is required. This service is available using our emergency broadcasting systems. If a dangerous chemical spill occurs in your community, you can target specific areas to call. If a severe snow storm hits your area, your community can be notified of school closings or event cancellations.

The following are articles relating to the emergency notification and emergency alert broadcasting services and systems that are in use today. Also, included in our library are technical documents relating to our 911Broadcast products and services.

911Broadcast.com is a service division of Database Systems Corp. and provides emergency notification phone service and dialers that let you contact thousands of households in your community in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. This service can be activiated over the Web or by phone.
