Flood prone area communication system
The Adtec linked emergency response telephone system (ALERTS), has been specially designed to provide fast, easy and reliable team communications and is tailored to suit the specific needs of your flood rescue operation.
Just one phone call connects you to a flood crisis team automatically, regardless of where they are. And all first responders have to remember is a simple digit PIN. The ALERTS smart design allows for simple, everyday use combined with a set of powerful administration tools.
Once initiated, ALERTS dials the team phone numbers stored in the system. And when answered correctly, automatically puts them into a conference call or sends them a voice pager message.
If no PINS are entered or the call is not answered, ALERTS will automatically dial the next number for that member of the team and extra participants can be brought into the conference as needed.
A prime example is during a flood warning. The duty officer of a water authority receives word that a major water main has burst with the potential to cause serious flooding in a high-density residential area.
With just one phone call, ALERTS automatically contacts all the members of an interagency emergency team and puts it immediately into a conference call.
Within minutes, all the relevant players are online, making the decisions required to get the situation under control.
Once the initial rescue decisions have been made, a secondary voice message is relayed to all the members of secondary team to inform them of the likely chain of events and to prepare appropriately.
Any other relevant contact such as the chief environmental officer, the company's PR representative, and all relevant media can also be informed.
The ALERTS has been specially designed for any emergency situation that needs to connect people and that requires the mobilisation of a response team.
This includes emergency services alerting, trauma team, notification, events management, project management, disaster recovery, public transport, news coverage, airlines etc.
