Public Safety Alerts and Warnings
Alert the public when there is a safety concern.
Who uses public safety alert and warning systems?
Any Government department, or organization that is responsible for public safety needs a reliable solution to quickly disseminate alerts and warnings to a large number of people. These public safety alerts might include: unsafe road conditions (dangerous roads or closed bridges), major weather warnings (high winds, tornados, heavy snowfall), natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, fires), medical situations (communicable viruses or diseases), or even information on criminals that are at-large. When it is critical to warn the public of a potential safety concern, you need a public safety alert and warning system you can trust.
How do you alert the public quickly?
Public safety systems for alerts and warnings can take a variety of forms. They may involve public address announcements, broadcasts via the radio or weather channel, and possibly a message on an information line that people call into for details. When it comes to public safety, the important thing is getting the message out to the public the fastest way possible.
1. Alerts via public address announcements:
For large public places such as office buildings, train or bus stations, ferry terminals, airports and shopping malls an announcement via the public address system or visual display signs is often the most effective way of communicating with a large number of people.
2. Alerts via a radio broadcast:
Radio broadcasts are often used to alert the public about road closures, weather warnings broadcasts and potential natural disasters such as fires or storms. The public can tune into this station to receive the latest information and updates.
3. Alerts on an information line:
When a problem arises an information line can be setup quickly to keep the public up to date on the situation and alert them of any important changes. People dial a specific phone number to get details on the incident and other information. This is often used during natural disasters to tell the public where they should evacuate to and what they should and shouldn’t be doing.
