Effective communication between government, state and local agencies and their constituents is absolutely essential in case of emergencies or disaster, either
natural or man made. The successful operation of rescue efforts including incident and damage assessment, mobilization of rescue workers, transmission of
emergency instructions, and managing evacuations requires horizontal communication between the various agencies in addition to top down communication.
The lack of horizontal messaging between agencies during the 2001 World Trade Center attack significantly slowed down rescue efforts and caused
casualties among fire fighters and police. Another example is the breakdown of communication during hurricane Katrina and the resulting delay of rescue
efforts and chaotic conditions on the ground.
Clickatell's enterprise grade messaging solution provides government agencies with real time, interactive emergency alerts across multiple
communication channels, reaching users anytime, anywhere, on any device. The next generation solution enables agencies to interact with employees, rescue workers, and the general public through one single messaging strategy:
- Mobilization - Clickatell helps improve emergency response times, deployments and rescue coordination with a messaging system designed to reach the intended audience within seconds.
- High reach - Clickatell combines mobile messaging with multiple communication channels to deliver any message (text, voice, IM, fax and pager) to any device (mobile phones, PDAs, PCs, IM clients, landline phones and fax).
- Escalation - If a critical message is not immediately acknowledged it can be escalated to the next available communication channel, until acknowledgment has been received and message delivery is assured. Messages can also be escalated from person to person until fully acknowledged.
