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.

int  ACSLMGRStarted(const char * _onBehalfOfCampaign);

int  ACSLMGRStart(const char * _campaign);

int  ACSLMGRStop(const char * _campaign);

int  ACSLMGRPause(const char * _campaign);

int  ACSLMGRResume(const char * _campaign);

int  ACSLMGRScheduleStart(const char * _campaign,

                          const char * _startDate,

                          const char * _startTime,

                          const int _honorTimeZone,

                          const int leaveRunning);

int  ACSLMGRScheduleStop (const char * _campaign,

                          const char * _startDate,

                          const char * _startTime,

                          const int _honorTimeZone);

ACSLMGRStarted() returns all of the campaigns for which List Managers are running (this is largely an internal DscACS call, and _onBehalfOfCampaign identifies the request for DscACS).

For the scheduled start and stop routines, the _honorTimeZone argument is set to TRUE if times are to be transmitted unmodified if distributed to an Associate.  If FALSE, then a calculation will be made of the time differential between Associates, so that the scheduled time will match the originator’s intended time, and not be shifted to the Associates’.
