2004-02-23, 3n Emergency Notification System - 3n’s Automated Emergency Notification System, ‘One Call – Reaches All’ is helping save lives and limit loss by playing a key role in Disaster Recovery and Homeland Security emergency communication operations. In case of emergency alert situations, the 3n Emergency Notification System provides a fast, reliable and efficient way to communicate to thousands of people within a matter of minutes, as opposed to hours or days.(PRWEB) February 24, 2004--http://www.3nonline.com - National Notification Network’s (3n) proprietary automated notification technology facilitates Disaster Recovery and Homeland Security emergency communications through the implementation of a fast and reliable means of notifying large numbers of people via a single, easy to use interface. The 3n emergency notification system plays a key role in crisis management and public safety by providing rapid, accurate, and complete communication that saves lives and limits loss. The 3n ‘One Call - Reaches All’ emergency notification service is the most advanced, efficient and easy to notification system available on the market today. The system bridges the gap between all standardized forms of communication. And in an emergency, when seconds matter, the 3n emergency notification system is capable of informing anywhere from 10 or 10,000 people. Within minutes it will concurrently and continuously communicate to all standard message delivery devices including - home phone - cell phone - work phone - pager - email - instant messaging - fax - Blackberry - wireless PDA and - wireless laptops, until the message is received by the intended party. During non-emergency times, the 3n phone and email notification system is used very effectively for routine communications and all-purpose message broadcasting. The 3n emergency notification system speeds up daily general notification or message delivery tasks to the point that thousands of messages can be delivered in less time than it takes to manually dial and deliver 10. ”Today, disaster and crisis can happen to anyone, anywhere at anytime, says Cinta Putra, CEO of 3n. She adds, “Knowing that if a crisis occurs, members will be informed of the circumstances immediately, is peace of mind worth any investment.” The 3n emergency notification system enables organizational administrators of schools, cities, companies, hospitals and others to share critical and timely homeland security or disaster recovery data that outlines the details of an emergency’s circumstances. It also provides guidelines to message recipients regarding next stage actions or needs (stay home, come here, pick-up your child etc). 3n’s emergency notification system has a wide variety of potential uses to assist with Homeland Security and Disaster Recovery, turning emergency communications into a fast, reliable, and simple to execute process in cases like these: * Terrorism – Alert employees of changes to the Homeland Security terrorist threat warning level * Emergency Responders – Notify emergency response teams and public safety organizations (police, fire, EMT, Hazmat, etc.) * Building Evacuation – Relay notices to specific floors, buildings or entire campuses after major disasters (earthquakes, fires, domestic terrorism, etc.) * Weather Alerts – Send emergency communications related to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, lightening, wildfires, etc. * Remote Roll-Calling – Verify safety and location of employees with active feedback feature (Press 1 if you are at home; Press 2 if you are at the off-site facility, etc.) * Activate Response Teams – Ensure rapid notification of security personnel and business continuity teams * Routine Notification – Deliver office messages; contact security personnel & business continuity teams; send follow-up emergency communications Traditional communications are inadequate in a disaster, but even today, most private and public organizations rely on antiquated telephone trees, call centers or email distribution lists to communicate with employees. During a large-scale emergency, these methods are extremely unreliable, as was seen during the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., when many phone networks failed due to system overloads, and the 2003 blackouts, when many telephone land lines and computers were non-functional. Had 3n’s automated emergency notification system been employed, notification in cases like these would have taken minutes, not hours or days: * Counter-terrorism and cyber crimes specialists spent much of a Thursday afternoon contacting power companies to check for the chance of terrorist involvement * UPS, which moves about 12 million parcels each day nationwide, had to get in touch with drivers unable to deliver or pick up parcels in New York and other affected cities * The FAA had to contact major New York area and Cleveland airports to cancel all flights for several hours * Nine nuclear power plants were notified to shut down in New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Michigan * In parts of Michigan, Ohio and Ontario, water customers were notified to boil water before drinking or cooking with it until water systems that had been hit by the outage had been checked out * New York’s sanitation workers were notified to work overtime through the weekend to cope with the tons of trash that accumulated on city sidewalks as residents emptied their refrigerators of spoiled food * Ottawa officials notified thousands of non-essential employees via television, radio and by having each supervisor contact their employees to tell them to stay home in order to conserve energy The 3n emergency notification system can be an integral component of any Homeland Security and Disaster Recovery communications contingency plan to save lives and limit loss.
