Tornado Season 2012 Disaster Recovery and Emergency Alerts
Posted By: Tim S. on May 07th, 2012

tornado alerts

Make sure that your city is prepared for the worst during the peak of tornado season by setting up an emergency alert system.

Tornado season began back in March for most southern states and for the northerners it's just getting underway. While several small towns and cities already have tornado alerts in place, most of the time they rely on loud sirens to alert everyone – some times the warnings are too late or even ignored.

DialMyCalls offers an extremely quick and efficient mass notification system that can be used for extreme weather and tornado alerts. Instead of relying on loud sirens that may or not be heard by everyone, cities and towns can send out hundreds of thousands of voice messages and text messages in a matter of seconds.

Import the phone numbers of your entire city into the DialMyCalls control panel and then record your tornado alert message. Once danger is imminent, the message can instantly be sent out to thousands of people in a matter of seconds – text messages and emails are also sent.

Make sure that your city is prepared for the 2012 tornado season by using DialMyCalls to set up an emergency alert system.

University of South Alabama Robbery Locks School Down
Posted By: Tim S. on April 30th, 2012

campus alerts

The University of South Alabama went into a full fledged campus lockdown on Sunday following an armed robbery in one of its college dorms.

This past Sunday, an armed robbery in a dorm on the campus of the University of South Alabama had the school in lockdown mode. After a student was robbed at gunpoint, officials at the school sent out a message on their official website, alerting students of the situation at hand.

According to WashingtonPost.com, emergency campus alerts were sent out via loud speakers, emails and a special phone-in system that the university uses. The message told students at the University of South Alabama to “remain inside” until the situation was resolved.

An arrest was made later last night and the lockdown was lifted at the University of South Alabama.

DialMyCalls offers an emergency notification system that can send out thousands of campus alerts in a matter of seconds. Using our voice broadcasting system will not only send out an email alert but is also capable of sending voice messages as well as text messages to all of your faculty and students.

Make sure that your university is prepared for an emergency, such as the recent events at the University of South Alabama, by signing up for our campus alerts today!

amber alert system

An Amber Alert System is critical in every city as finding missing or abducted children is an extremely serious situation – it is best to be prepared for the worst.

DialMyCalls offers an extremely efficient and effective Amber Alert System that small municipalities, cities and even whole states can use to alert their residents of missing children and child abductions. Quickly send out a text message to the entire community with the description of the missing child, the clothes he/she was wearing and the last place and time they were seen.

With our 2-way messaging system, residents who receive the initial Amber Alert text message can respond with updates on the whereabouts of the missing child – the city can view these responses online in their DialMyCalls control panel and follow up on potential leads that will help return the child safely.

On top of the text messages, a voice message can also be sent out to regular home phones that can't receive text messages – an email alert will also be sent out as well.

Make sure your city is prepared for the worst by setting up an Amber Alert System using the DialMyCalls voice broadcasting services today!

Colorado wildfires spark dire need for Emergency Alert System
Posted By: Tim S. on March 27th, 2012

emergency-alert-system

A recent wildfire in the mountainous region southwest of Denver, Colorado has claimed at least one life and left a path of destruction.

According to the Associated Press, authorities had to order the local residents of approximately 950 homes to evacuate due to the extreme nature of the wildfire. One sheriff's deputy, who was alerting people via his patrol car was trapped after he ran into a ditch because of the thick smoke – this is where an Emergency Alert System from DialMyCalls would come into play.

Reports say that only one person was found dead in the recent Colorado wildfires but it could have been a lot worse. Had the sheriff's deputy who had been manually alerting residents not been able to contact help via radio, his fate might have been different.

DialMyCalls offers an extremely efficient Emergency Alert System for extreme situations like the recent Colorado wildfires. City officials can instantly send out an email, text message and/or voice message, alerting residents of a mandatory evacuation. Instead of having local sheriff's deputies risk their lives alerting people, DialMyCalls will do it for you!

We are extremely happy that the fires in Colorado have been contained and our gratitude goes out to the firefighters and law enforcement that kept things under control and minimized the amount of lives lost.

Posted By: Tim S. on March 08th, 2012

solar flare

DialMyCalls.com is prepared to send out notifications and emergency alerts in response to the solar flare that is headed for earth.

Today might seem like a normal day to everyone but for The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) it's a complete different story. U.S. Space experts are monitoring recent solar flare activity which has spawned a giant geomagnetic storm which is currently racing towards Earth!

While we don't have a cataclysmic event on our hands, scientists have warned us that upon the arrival of this massive geomagnetic storm, power grids, airplane systems and certain types of GPS (space-based) may in fact be affected.

In the event that this powerful sun storm does knock out power and certain types of communication systems, DialMyCalls will be there to help spread the word. Our mass notification system can send out millions of voice/text based emergency alerts to the different groups effected by the solar flare plasma ejection. (oil drillers, surveyors, air traffic controllers)
