Database Systems Corp. (DSC) is a leading provider of call processing technology including automatic phone systems capable of delivering emergency voice messages to large groups of individuals. DSC likewise provides outsourced calling services from its secure data center.

If a tornado should threaten your community, our emergency broadcast and warning service can contact your community quickly. With our emergency notification phone service, we can broadcast warning messages to thousands of households in your community warning of catastrophic disasters including tornados and high wind storms.

Emergency messages can be simultaneously broadcast in just minutes using our network of emergency phone systems. Pre-recorded tornado warning messages can be played giving households information regarding the tornado and storm location and whether a community evacuation is planned or necessary.

Tornado phone warning messages sent to households in this fashion can be simple warnings with specific or general instructions. If the community needs feedback from the call, an IVR (a href="http://www.call-center-tech.com/interactive-voice-response.htm">interactive voice response) can be programmed into the message allowing the person to either acknowledge the call or to contact someone.

Messages can vary based upon proximity to the event, with different degrees of broadcast warning and instructions.

This tornado warning and emergency broadcast service is easy to use. Calls can be initiated from our website or can be activated by phone. If you purchase our system, activation can be initiated using our easy-to-use wizard program.

Touch Phone Activation

Our emergency notification service can be initiated by calling our emergency 800 number and simply entering an account ID and password by touch phone. Once validated, you can record your message and select from any number of lists of phone numbers (such as EMS personnel). That's it! We immediately start calling the individuals on the selected list playing the recorded message.

Web Activation

We also provide the same type of activation using our website. Here you also have the ability to maintain your lists as well as create new ones using our mapping systems.

When an emergency arises, you simply record your emergency message offline or use our toll free phone service to record your message.

Next identify your call recipients using a simple list manager or a graphical map display and send us your phone numbers via the internet. We do the rest.



Computer Message Activation

Our emergency notification network also supports computer and web connectivity using XML technology. Thus, emergency communication can be initiated from your website or computer by automatically sending our emergency phone system a message containing a list of one or more phone numbers and a message to be sent to these individuals. The message can be text (which is automatically converted to voice) or a voice file. For further information, visit our VoiceXML messaging web page.

Unlike some systems that are limited by the number of lines available to perform this emergency dialing, our service is provided to you using a network of phone lines that can deliver your emergency messages much faster. Our emergency notification system delivers messages to individuals or answering machines and can even allow the call recipient to make touchphone selections. This may be important if your response center requires a positive acknowledgement from the call recipient such as your EMS crew or emergency response team.

Another advanced feature of our emergency notification phone system is its ability to not only detect answering machines, but to leave a separate pre-recorded message on this machine. Unlike most message delivery systems, we can detect the end of the answering machines greeting prompt and start playing your message immediately after this prompt.

Traditional emergency phone dialers cannot detect the difference between an individual and an answering machine. Most emergency dialers that can detect the difference simply ignore these answering machines. At best these phone systems schedule the answering machine number to be redialed later. Our emergency dialer gives you the option to select any one of these response methods.

This is a question that communities should carefully consider. A purchased system gives you more control, but requires sufficient phone lines, equipment and on site technical knowledge to keep your system operational. The larger your community, the greater capital expense is required to broadcast your emergency messages in a timely fashion. If your message broadcasting system is used for more than just emergencies, it is easier to justify a purchase over contracted service. After all, emergency phone broadcasting is something you hope you never need to use.

Contracting your tornado warning emergency broadcasting service requires less up front capital and can provide a faster emergency broadcast response if your provider has the resources available. Other than a monthly subscription fee, you only pay for the emergency broadcast as it occurs. System redundancy is available as well as centralized and experienced technical assistance.
