INSTANT NOTIFICATION
CAN is a unique service that contacts a
predetermined list of people – immediately – to deliver appropriate
information and instructions when an urgent situation strikes. Unlike
radio or TV announcements, CAN delivers messages with targeted phone
calls: your best bet to make contact, especially if your call goes out
in the middle of the night.
SOLUTIONS FOR THE INFORMATION AGE
"Why didn’t they contact me?"
"You’d think someone would have let us know."
These are phrases that no one with safety or
emergency staffing responsibilities ever wants to hear. You can’t
afford to rely on "telephone trees" or other outmoded notification
methods. Technological sophistication is no longer a luxury – it’s
expected.
COMMUNICATION INSURANCE
With CAN services in place, you can rest assured
that your crisis network is ready for use – 24 hours a day. Those who
receive your call will know that you have taken steps and used
technology to keep them informed.
To enjoy these benefits of CAN services, you won’t
need to purchase, lease or maintain any hardware or software. You
won’t need to hire any personnel. There are no complicated procedures
to learn. Once you’ve supplied your list, or identified your
geographic region to contact, your emergency notification service is
ready to be implemented whenever you need it.
THE RIGHT MESSAGE
In an emergency, you make one call to CAN. An
on-duty staff member will help you to record a broadcast message, or
select one that you’ve already prepared. You determine the content of
each call: Send multi-lingual messages – or different messages to
different lists, simultaneously – you decide what works for your
situation.
MORE THAN A MESSAGE
Perhaps you require a response from the individuals
on your calling list. CAN provides a simple interactive solution that
collects touch-tone "answers" to prompts in your message. Responses
are faxed to you immediately with your calling report.
You can also use CAN as a "dial-in" service for
information that needs to be updated frequently. Give your CAN number
to your audience and they can all in 24 hours a day to hear your
message. Update your message as often as you need to.
THE RIGHT AUDIENCE
Only you know the people who need to be contacted
when an incident occurs. You’ll never wonder if your calling lists are
up to date because you maintain them yourself. If your message
includes sensitive information, CAN provides a security code option,
requiring a listener to enter a pre-determined code before hearing
your call.
If your needs are more geographic in nature, CAN
services can target specific areas by ZIP code, zone, block, even
street numbers. You select the lists or the areas that will receive
your call, CAN supplies the telephone numbers for that region.
RIGHT NOW
As soon as you’ve set up your message, calls begin
immediately – at the rate of 6,000 an hour or more.
