California Residents
REVERSE 911® and DCC Alert Residents
of Dangerous Wildfires, Mobilize First Responders
Nashville, TN
– More than 500,000 families have found
their way to safety from Southern
California’s ferocious wildfires with the
help of emergency notification technology.
Two PlantCML subsidiaries -- REVERSE 911®
and DCC (Dialogic Communications
Corporation), have supported the wildfire
evacuation and response effort with fast and
accurate information.
During this tragic time, public safety
agencies and county and city governments
throughout Southern California have
successfully utilized the company’s patented
emergency notification system, REVERSE 911®,
as well as Communicator! NXT and
GeoCast® Web, to automatically alert
thousands of residents and businesses of
voluntary and mandatory evacuation orders.
“This is a tragic situation, and we are firmly
committed to helping communities across
Southern California evacuate safely,” said
Lorin Bristow, Vice President of PlantCML.
”In critical situations like wildfires,
communication can be a lifeline. Our
customers tell us emergency notification
technology is playing a vital role here.
During the coming days and weeks, REVERSE
911® and DCC will do everything possible to
continue to assist in the wildfire response
and recovery efforts.”
REVERSE 911® and DCC both provide emergency
notification technology that automates the
calling process, enabling public safety
organizations to send voice and text
messages by phone, pager, cell and email to
thousands of residents in minutes.
In Southern California, residents are
currently receiving automated messages
containing voluntary and mandatory
evacuation orders. Numerous public safety
organizations, including law enforcement,
fire and emergency management, will continue
to use the software to evacuate residents as
needed and provide pertinent information
during the clean up and recovery efforts.
Aside from communicating with residents, the
notification technology of REVERSE 911® and
DCC is being used to mobilize first
responders, EMS professionals and volunteers
throughout the region. The software
automatically contacts these individuals
using all available communications devices,
and then intelligently fills positions until
the required teams are assembled.
Organizations throughout the U.S. depend
daily on emergency notification technology
provided by REVERSE 911® and DCC. Whether
it’s being used to send a severe weather
alert or a missing child report, emergency
notification allows the user to quickly and
accurately contact a wide audience during a
time of need. It also allows them to get the
feedback necessary for emergency response
and recovery.
