Citizens rely on local and county governments to keep them informed of everything from street closures to natural disaster alerts. Detailed plans for Continuity of Government (COG) and Continuity of Operations (COOP) are now mandated capabilities expected of government.
From street closure announcements to citizens to calls for more staff to respond to an incident, the 3n InstaCom™ mass notification system quickly and efficiently delivers messages to one or thousands of recipients. An individual, division, entire organization or community can be contacted in seconds, and the system cycles through multiple voice and text devices until all messages are delivered.
Communicate in Less Time Using Fewer Resources
With the 3n mass notification system, local and county governments can:
- Reach citizens immediately with critical information. Rapidly and reliably disseminate critical information and instructions to agencies, mobilize city workers, provide officials situational awareness, and relay emergency instructions to residents and businesses, even when business or regional communication systems are damaged.
- Deploy police, fire, and other emergency personnel on short notice. Improve emergency response times and coordination efforts. Determine which staff members or volunteers—police, fire, emergency management systems, public works, and public health—are available to work and when.
- Maximize communication channels. The 3n mass notification system delivers messages across all communication platforms—including phone (land line, mobile, and satellite), email, instant messaging, text messaging (native SMS), fax, BlackBerry®, PDA, and pager—and will cycle through these devices until the message is confirmed.
- Send geographically targeted notifications to businesses and residents in specific locations. The 3n mass notification system enables government officials to issue evacuation notices, emergency instructions, and other messages to businesses and residents in a specific geographical area.
- Comply with Homeland Security Target Capabilities. As local first responder agencies seek compliance with the National Preparedness Plan and NIMS, implementation of the 3n mass notification system satisfies key components of several DHS Target Capabilities, including Citizen Evacuation and Shelter in Place, Emergency Public Information and Warning, and others.
- Manage communications during disasters of any size and scale. The 3n mass notification system is a highly scalable communication tool able to match any size disaster and capable of handling simultaneous incidents in multiple locations.
- Relieve key personnel from cumbersome manual tasks. Automate time-intensive, error-prone, manual processes to enable your staff to focus on important crisis management tasks instead of wrangling with untrackable communication logistics.
