Tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes are all possible. These are the most severe and fatal natural disasters Americans experience every year. Given the unpredictable nature and power of Mother Nature, seconds could mean the difference in life and death. However, most critical information isn’t available until the destruction has been completed.
TechRadium, Inc. addresses this issue with an emergency response information system (IRIS). IRIS is a mass notification system that sends messages in seconds to clients such as individuals, organizations, and priority groups.
TechRadium created the first mass notification system in 2001 after the events of September 11. It is still widely used and growing.
IRIS starts sending out a consistent message to all contacts of the client almost immediately after receiving a quick call or e mail from a client.
It can be used by anyone who wants to reach a large number people at once. However, IRIS is most commonly used by building managers, school principals, administrators, and officials from utility companies.
Not only can the system send messages to clients but also to parents, emergency responders, employees, and others. These messages can be sent using e-mail, fax machines, PDAs, and phones. They can continue calling until they get an answer if the person does not answer.
Just a few examples of organizations using the IRIS system are the American Red Cross and State of Florida Department of Education.
IRIS does not require clients to download any software. Clients can simply use any phone or computer connected to the Internet to send a message to an IRIS advisor. IRIS doesn’t require clients to have any particular hardware or software. Instead, redundant servers are used to store their database across the United States. The information is safe even if one server fails.
