Do you want to receive emergency notifications and detailed ALERTS relative to where you live or work?
EWN's emergency and early warning network is a technical and organisational innovation that is
unmatched anywhere in the world. The purpose of this unique capability is to help save lives and protect property. EWN
is providing the Early Warning Network free to the public, emergency service providers and schools.
The system is designed to reach you where ever you are; via any or all of the following:
- Desktop ALERT™
- mobile via SMS
- phone
- email
The solution comprises two parts. The first part exists on a highly scalable network. Inputs, or warnings are managed
through a sophisticated Notification Server which provides the administrative, routing, notification creation and
system management functions required.
The second part is the Desktop Agent called Desktop ALERT™. Desktop ALERT™ provides an event notification user
interface that displays information onto the desktop in a high impact manner with advanced functionality to enhance the
user experience, while supporting centralised notification services.
By downloading and installing Desktop ALERT™ on your computer you immediately enable the most comprehensive emergency
alert system that exists today.
The Early Warning Network is a multi-channel ALERT system that provides the ability for emergency responders, schools and other authorities to instantly and simultaneously broadcast alerts and notifications to individuals, groups, or person/s within a specific area over multiple communication mediums. The system is geographically aware. This means those people needing the information, get it. Messages can be sent sensitive to physical locations (name, street, post code, town or map location) or any other grouping type the authority designates. These messages can then be sent across one or more of the channels described. In a nut shell, this means you only get the information you need.
The Early Warning Network is provided free to the public and all emergency services. Using Desktop ALERT™ you control how, when and from whom you wish to receive notifications from.
In addition to Emergency notifications, we are working to provide you the ability to select and receive notifications of other important services. For instance; planned power outages and services such as rubbish bin pickups being changed - not life threatening but useful to know in advance. The important thing is you decide what you want to receive and can change your options at any time.
School ALERT™ Released
EWN is pleased to announce the release of School ALERT™. This initiative will provide schools an entirely new capability that will assist school administrators in the management of the safety and security of their students. School ALERT™ is provided to schools, parents and pupils free of charge. The system will enable immediate communication to parents informing them of critical emergencies such as direct threats (Predators etc) and missing children, all the way to a change in venue for the soccer team.
Schools will be able to manage broadcasts by name, physical location, class, sports team or what ever grouping they desire. (We wont tell the kids they could get their homework this way!)
