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 we developed a system known as eLert. Our
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 going to a special web site 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 me, 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 enclosed.
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.
