Significant Enhancements Added to RED ALERT System

McFarland, WI – The 1Call Division of AMTELCO is pleased to announce a number of significant enhancements for the RED ALERT Emergency and Event Notification system. RED ALERT gives organizations a fast and accurate tool for notifying the appropriate people in emergency situations, along with sending meeting and event reminders.

The latest RED ALERT features include:

• A new streamlined screen appearance with a sidebar dashboard for monitoring the progress of alert activities
• An enhanced map-based interface for triggering alerts by geographic location, using mapping applications such as MapPoint®, Google® Maps, or ESRI®
• The ability to trigger an RSS feed when an alert is activated*
• Integration with 1Call’s MiteyMite desktop soft phone dashboard application, providing the convenience of sending notifications directly to the recipient’s desktop
• Enhanced security with user programmable log-in “Challenge Questions”
• Expanded functionality for custom database fields on the Alert and Recipient set-up screens

RED ALERT saves time, reduces errors, and speeds an organization’s overall response time. A few of the many uses for RED ALERT include staff shortages, code calls, campus lockdowns, contingency planning, scheduled (and unscheduled) events, evacuations, weather emergencies, countywide drills, and much more.

*RSS feeds can be received with any Web browser.
