more effectively address the needs of all community members
Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today announced that the state of
California has bolstered its disaster preparedness and response
capabilities by leveraging Rave Prepare to collect additional
opt-in information that will help emergency managers, public safety
authorities and public health preparedness officials more
accurately target critical messages via the state’s Enhanced
Alerting program.
“The state of California has taken significant steps to address
the emergency preparedness needs of those who may require
alternative safety strategies through its NG 9-1-1 initiative,”
said Todd Piett, corporate vice president of command center
technologies at Motorola Solutions. “State leaders have prioritized
community engagement and worked with our team to develop a
customized solution that enables state and local agencies to
holistically serve residents when earthquakes, flooding, heatwaves
and other catastrophes happen.”
Enhanced Alerting helps to evolve disaster preparedness models
beyond pen and paper access and functional needs (AFN) registries
so that genuine partnerships are fostered among emergency
management agencies and community members. California’s new program
allows residents who may need more time or additional resources to
prepare for severe weather or other crisis events to proactively
provide information about unique considerations, transportation
needs and language preferences. Public safety officials can
aggregate this demographic data via the Rave Prepare interface,
heatmap areas that may require more notice and issue inclusive,
multilingual emergency notifications, such as SMS text for the
hearing-impaired or audio phone messages for the
visually-impaired.
Since 2000, California has made close to 300 disaster
declarations. By providing profile information such as modes of
communication, emergency access instructions, mobility
considerations and power-dependent equipment needs, residents can
help emergency management agencies better meet the safety needs of
the whole community.
