Adaptive Geo-Location Zone Messaging
PROBLEM: Generic broad scale messages and alerts do not provide sufficient detail from which individuals and communities can make informed decisions about their safety when threatened by natural disasters and emergencies
IMPLICATION:
Geo-location information is critical to the effectiveness of Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems
Broadcast Communications Infrastructure Designed for Disasters
PROBLEM: Broadcast and capacity limitations of cell phone networks are deeply rooted in the design of the technology because it’s intended purpose is 1:1 communications …. which is the direct opposite of broadcast communication
IMPLICATION:
The greater the demands for cell phone networks to broadcast time critical alerts and messages the greater the likelihood that they will fail
PROBLEM: Cell phones are prone to message clutter, overload and susceptible to battery issues, being set to silent or switched off.
PROBLEM: Damage to cell phone, internet and power infrastructure is common and often catastrophic in the event of disasters particularly in regional and remote areas
Dedicated Voice & Siren Alerting In Homes, Vehicles & Public Spaces
IMPLICATION:
There is potential for messages and alerts to be missed or overlooked on cell phones
IMPLICATION:
Warning systems that rely on cell phone networks and the internet are often inoperable when needed most
Early Warning System Inputs
Incident Control
Highly Resilient Stand Alone Disaster Communications & Alerting Network
