Government Emergency Notification

Government agencies and municipalities depend on efficient, productive communications to ensure the efficient delivery of service to constituents on a daily basis. They must also demonstrate and document calm, orderly communications and incident management during a crisis.

Municipalities and many government agencies depend on field-based workers to conduct their day-to-day business. Mobilizing a field-based workforce with maximum efficiency is essential to the delivery of services to constituents and the efficient operation of government. For these field-based workers, alerting and response services are far more cost-effective and efficient than email. This is especially true because of the ability to reach workers using any type of device, including PDA, telephone and pager.

In the event of an emergency, Office of Emergency Management officials have an even more urgent mandate to reach hundreds and even thousands of people in a short period of time in order to maintain public order and the delivery of services before, during and after the emergency. They must have a reliable way to quickly alert and mobilize first responders and continue to coordinate resources as an incident unfolds. Agencies working together to manage an incident require a common operating picture and the ability to communicate efficiently and effectively across agency boundaries. And they want a well-documented record of this communication and coordination in order to analyze which efforts were effective and where systems need to be improved.
