Did you happen to notice…….

the recent announcement that the City of Alabaster, AL had contracted with a Nashville company to provide a community emergency alerting system for approximately eight hundred dollars per month?  What a nice thing to do!

With approximately 8000 families in Alabaster, that works out to about ten cents per month per household.  The technology used has been around for a number of years.  In essence, a fixed monthly charge is paid depending on the number of people served.  In addition, there is a usage charge levied each time the system is activated.  There is some cost associated with acquiring the phone numbers of all the households and entering the data into the system, but it is a whole lot more efficient than sirens.

The way these systems work is that service providers such as Dialogic provide the equipment and leased telephone lines that typically provide automatic emergency calling for up to 5000 numbers per hour.  Emergency weather information, missing children reports, escaped prisoner information, chemical spills, school closures and other timely information can be sent to participating families and business users.  So why are we telling you all this?  Is it for the purpose of selling you such a system?  Absolutely not!  We want to GIVE you the system!

Several years ago a system known as eLert was developed.  The system is based on the fact that there are more cell phones than there are wired phones.  Every cell phone has the ability to receive email.  So, we concluded that a system that could send instant email messages to cell phones was not only more efficient, it was also faster, and a whole lot less expensive!  You can learn more about this system by clicking here.

As you review the information on eLert, you will note that the cost is about one-tenth that of the system used by Alabaster (Up to 10,000 users can be served for $75 per month with no additional cost for sending messages). That’s not quite free, but bear with us, we’re not through yet.

Now, let’s change topics for a moment and talk about the safety of YOUR employees.  Hardly a day goes by that there isn’t a situation in the City Clerk’s office, revenue, or utility office, even the school office where immediate law enforcement assistance is required.  Unfortunately, you rarely have time to dial a number, or even use a radio to call for assistance in the presence of a disruptive person.  We’ve got a solution.  It’s called a Quick Assist!  Additional information on the Quick Assist program is available by clicking here.

Check out the Quick Assist program and learn how you can make your city safer for the citizens (FREE) and your municipal offices safer for your employees at minimal expense.
