"the calm in the crisis"

This system is the next generation ONLINE TWO-WAY bulk text database communication and reporting system. It is available for emergency services to activate in the effective management of communication and record keeping functions during emergency and evacuation situations.

EAARS HAS EXCLUSIVE TANGABLE BENEFITS THAT CAN SAVE LIVES SOLVING EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS:

EAARS is a new communication technology that integrates online two-way bulk SMS text messaging and offsite online database systems analysis for activation, individual message receipt confirmation and individual action response reporting.

Principal Conradi Norton Summit School was quoted saying, ”This was the smoothest mock evacuation in the history of the school. We had parents here within a few minutes”. More importantly the principle said, ”The level of relaxation with the pupils was vastly improved, no doubt because the pupils knew that their parents were communicating with the school using the new EAARS system”.

Emergency Manager Tanya Frohloff observed that there was only one phone call to the school office during the trial evacuation. Tanya said, “During previous mock emergency drills the schools phone system was overwhelmed”.

The foundation of the patented technology is the ability to store individual SMS messages in an online database and provide real time reporting of individual responses.

The system solves several problems for the emergency manager who needs to know that targeted groups have received bulk-warning messages and have acted or not acted using the desired responses.

How would EAARS work in the case of a school evacuation emergency?

On the realisation of a school emergency along side the activation of the emergency siren the emergency officer would send a bulk prerecorded SMS message via EAARS to all parents that there is an emergency and if they are able to evacuate their child from the predetermined evacuation site. A bulk SMS message is activated using a single online prompt by the school emergency manager from any PC or mobile PC device. Each individual parent receives an SMS text message on their mobile phone. In a hypothetical example 850 out of a parent population of 900 respond with a SMS text message indicating that they can meet at the pre-assigned meeting location within 15 minutes. This is displayed in collated form on the emergency manager's PC, 50 parents respond with different action responses indicating that they cannot collect their children on this occasion within this time frame for some reason. The manager has the option to review and send this information immediately on its receipt and develop an action plan based on the information received to deal with the remining children that need to be evacuated.

SMS Package Recommendations

Where organisations such as schools and emergency services apply the EAAR system for bulk alert or emergency notification it is critical that the credits available need to be at lease twice the number required in the case of an emergency plus another 25% (at least) to enable safe coverage in the case of an emergency.

There may be situations in the emergency when subsequent messages need to be sent as follow-ups to the initial message. This needs to be considered when allocation credits to this application.

Local considerations need to be taken in account when deciding on the amount of credits that would be needed in the case of an emergency.

In the situation of schools the number of credits that may be needed would be twice the school’s enrolment plus staff numbers and allowing another twenty-five percent (25%) buffer to consider other incidental use.

In the event that credits have been used and the total remaining is under this critical level not all alert messages will able to be sent and received by recipients due to a lack of available credits.

Other organisations need also to double their work force, staff and clients on site and also add at least the twenty-five percent (25%) buffer to the allocated credits to be within the critical amount needed in the case of an emergency.

Please note that this information is provided for your information and organisations need to perform their own due diligance taking into consideration their own local and intimate knowledge of their situation.

Credits are easily purchased on the website or by contacting our customer service centres or faxing back our special Application Form.
