Emergency Alert Systems

This section of our technical library presents information and documentation relating to Emergency Broadcasting Systems and Disaster Recovery Applications. Should an emergency arise in your community, our 911 broadcast service can deliver large volumes of calls quickly using thousands of phone lines simultaneously. In the event of a blizzard, wild fire or devastating flood, your community can be notified quickly given specific instructions if an evacuation is required using our emergency broadcasting service. 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.

Call Model Information

Another part of the campaign definition is defining the call model characteristics associated with this campaign.

• Campaign - DISPLAY ONLY (from prior screen).
• No Contact Retries - This number represents the number of tries that the phone system will attempt to contact each individual household or phone number.
• No Contact Roll Minutes - If contact is not made with an individual (or answering machine), this parameter represents the number of minutes that the phone system will wait prior to attempting to contact this number again.
