Significant Enhancements Added to RED ALERT System
McFarland, WI - September 2009 – The 1Call Division of AMTELCO is pleased to announce a number of significant enhancements for the RED ALERT Emergency and Event Notification system. RED ALERT gives organizations a fast and accurate tool for notifying the appropriate people in emergency situations, along with sending meeting and event reminders.
The latest RED ALERT features include:
- A new streamlined screen appearance with a sidebar dashboard for monitoring the progress of alert activities
- An enhanced map-based interface for triggering alerts by geographic location, using mapping applications such as MapPoint®, Google® Maps, or ESRI®
- The ability to trigger an RSS feed when an alert is activated*
- Integration with 1Call’s MiteyMite desktop soft phone dashboard application, providing the convenience of sending notifications directly to the recipient’s desktop
- Enhanced security with user programmable log-in “Challenge Questions”
- Expanded functionality for custom database fields on the Alert and Recipient set-up screens
RED ALERT saves time, reduces errors, and speeds an organization’s overall response time. A few of the many uses for RED ALERT include staff shortages, code calls, campus lockdowns, contingency planning, scheduled (and unscheduled) events, evacuations, weather emergencies, countywide drills, and much more.
*RSS feeds can be received with any Web browser.
