Immediate communication is one of the most critical factors in saving lives and minimizing in- juries in any emergency situation, including man- made accidents and threats as well as natural events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and tsunamis. Effective and efficient notification systems pro- vide essential alert and warning capabilities for preparedness and planning.
