New Self-Registration Portal for REVERSE 911(R) Emergency Notification System Now Available
| Source: PlantCML
TEMECULA, CA--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) - PlantCML® today announced the release of its
new Self-Registration Portal (SRP) for the patented REVERSE 911®
emergency notification system. This company-hosted gateway offered through
subsidiary Dialogic Communications
Corporation (DCC) will provide public safety operations a proactive
means for gathering contact information from the community-at-large,
ultimately improving communications during all types of contingencies.
The SRP is a simple-to-access web tool that allows local residents to sign
up to receive alerts issued by local law enforcement, fire/EMS or emergency
management. Once implemented, the SRP's URL (website address) or quick link
appears on an operation's home page, forwarding visitors to DCC's hosted
portal. Here, they can complete a short form with fields for address,
telephone number(s), etc., easily enlisting to receive future
system-generated notifications.
Through Microsoft® Bing™ Maps, the latitude and longitude of the
individual's address are calculated, with the location quickly appearing on
a digital, street-level display. If the position is incorrect, perhaps due
to a typographical error, he or she can simply move a pin to correct it.
Participants may also update their personal contact information, physical
address, etc. as often as necessary in order to keep the data current. This
information is seamlessly geo-coded into the address database utilized by
the REVERSE 911 emergency notification system on a scheduled basis.
"With so many people transitioning from landlines to cell, wireless and
VoIP phones, the collection of 9-1-1 data is growing increasingly
difficult," said Mike Adams, Director of Product Management. "For this
reason, today's public safety operations must seek assistance from the
communities they serve. The SRP is just one more way they can engage local
residents in order to expand the reach and overall effectiveness of their
REVERSE 911 system."
The SRP features highly robust administrative capabilities, allowing
municipalities to individually establish security parameters, as well as
customize the interface. This includes defining the fields that can be
viewed and/or completed by participants, determining the location and zoom
level of map displays, tailoring email templates and selecting fonts,
colors, backgrounds, etc. to match their own website.
The SRP for the REVERSE 911 emergency notification system was field tested
by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department (SBCSD), where it received
excellent reviews for its design, adaptability and ease of use.
