With technology from Database Systems Corp., you can broadcast alert and warning messages to hundreds of thousands of households warning of potential catastrophic disasters, including severe weather warnings.
Businesses, organizations and emergency response teams can be notified quickly whenever a disaster hits an area. Pre-recorded warning messages can be played giving households travel warnings advising them where to seek shelter or providing other safety instructions. You can send a broadcast alert warning to specific neighborhoods or communities in the event of a wildfire or severe weather warnings. Community alarms can be directed to operators that are standing by to handle special individual emergencies.
Messages can also be broadcast seeking volunteers or special assistance from emergency personnel.

Communities can be notified of other situations such as power or utility outages.
Remote communities have used this technology to warn residents when the forest service planned a controlled burn, preventing a rash of 911 and emergency calls by concerned citizens.
Other applications include warning residents when there is a toxic chemical spill or other dangerous environmental disaster.

What Is Automatic Emergency Notification Dialing?
Emergency dialers call numbers from a computer managed list playing a recorded message to the call recipient (or answering machine) and optionally distributes these calls to your emergency response team.
There are several other types of emergency phone dialing that can be performed by our system. These dialing techniques are useful for not only dialing your community for notification purposes, but also for contacting your support and emergency personnel.
The following types of dialing require emergency call center operators:
- For traditional dialing there is a preview dialing feature that allows your emergency personnel to view the call information prior to the call being placed.
The caller can decide not to initiate the call.
- Progressive dialing passes the call information to the response team operator at the same time the number is being dialed by the phone dialer.
The emergency operator usually has a few seconds to view the call information, but cannot stop the call process.
- Predictive Dialing is more sophisticated because the phone dialer
automatically calls several numbers and only passes a call to your response operator when a person has been contacted. This eliminates busy signals, answering machines, etc.
- Finally Smart emergency dialers place calls, play recorded messages and prompts, and pass the calls to your response team only when the called individual
needs to talk with a member of your emergency response team.
