An automatic emergency notification system dials numbers from computer managed phone lists playing recorded messages to the call recipients. If the phone system detects a person or an answering machine on the phone line, it plays a recorded message providing details regarding the emergency. If a busy signal or no answer is detected, the phone system can be configured to make multiple attempts to contact this household.

Emergency notification messages delivered to residents can provide an option for the call recipient to speak with a member of your emergency team by simply pressing a button on the phone keypad.

Complex scripts can be developed with detailed information about an event or instructions for emergency response crews.

Emergency notification using our auto dialer involves the transmission of a recorded phone message to hundreds or thousands of households in a short period of time. As the administrator of an emergency notification center, it is important to do the following:

• Create A Clear and Concise Message
  
  During an emergency, it is important that your recorded phone message convey the information and instructions that you desire - no more and no less. Generally a 30 second message is considered the optimum length. If additional information needs to be conveyed, provide the call recipient with touchphone options to select from a menu or simply provide a contact number. Playing a long message may confuse the call recipient and diminish the importance of the emergency.
  
  Emergency notification messages can recorded offline and uploaded over the internet. DSC also provides clients with an 800 number to call and record the message over the phone.
  
  
• Create A List of Message Recipients
  
  It is of important that the emergency message be delivered to the right audience. In many cases, your targeted group of message recipients has been predefined (a community, response group, etc.). A specific emergency may require the building of this list based upon geographic or demographic requirements.
  
  911 Broadcast call lists can be stored on our phone system or call lists can be created from a master list of community residents by the administrator during the alert.
  
  
• Initiate The Emergency Phone Broadcast
  
  Once the message has been created and the list of recipients identified, the emergency voice broadcast can be initiated.
  
  Our emergency notification process can be initiated over the internet using a secure administrative process. Likewise, emergency messages can be initiated over the phone or by using our automated emergency VoiceXML messaging procedures.
