Community emergency alert systems will be installed in major California and Washington cities this Fall.
Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) August 16, 2005 -- REVERSE 911®, a leading developer
of community emergency notification systems, www.reverse911.com, announced today the initial award of seven
new customer contracts along the West Coast. This announcement paves the way for
additional West Coast municipalities to take advantage of the patented
technology of REVERSE 911®.
The seven new REVERSE 911® customers include
Seattle, WA; Santa Barbara County, CA; Sacramento, CA; Sacramento County, CA;
Amador County, CA; San Diego County, CA; and Long Beach, CA. Installation and
training of the individual systems has already begun, with all scheduled to be
installed and operational by Fall of 2005.
“Once again, these new
customers are taking advantage of the patented technology that is REVERSE 911®,”
said Steve Warren, REVERSE 911® vice-president of sales & marketing. “We are
very excited to add this strategic group of customers, and we will continue to
focus our efforts on the West Coast.”
Residents in each of these cities
and counties will soon be able to receive critical REVERSE 911® messages in the
event of an emergency or natural disaster.
“We were looking for a partner
in community notification that could bridge the gap between our community's
demands and our technology capabilities. We needed to trust in someone that
could act as an expert adviser for our long-term technology planning while
considering our community's extensive growth. REVERSE 911®'s references have
certified them as the experts in the field with positive customer experience and
a knowledgeable support team,” stated a new REVERSE 911® Customer in
California.
Customizing each system to the needs of customers, the
patented REVERSE 911® system will prepare each municipality to notify residents
or responders of emergency situations such as HazMat incidents, missing child
alerts, or other emergency scenarios.
“As more and more areas become
REVERSE 911® Certified Sites, it reminds those communities and agencies that are
not equipped with our patented technology of its importance,” said Kevin
McCarthy, REVERSE 911® President. “This is reinforced by the customer
satisfaction scores that we consistently receive.” The steadfast growth and
patented technologies singles out REVERSE 911® as being the expert in managing a
broad range of community notification services, from natural disaster
