How It Works
The Critical
Reach address book
enables public safety authorities to send alerts to specific authorities and/or public entities in specific locations.
The address book
links local, county, state, and federal authorities with each
other:
- Law Enforcement
- Health
Officials/Medical Personnel
- EMS/FEMA
- Homeland
Security
- Firefighters
The address book
links authorities with the public on a local, county, state, and
national level:
Recipient
Address Organization
To ensure precise alert distribution, each electronic
address (email, fax, pager, or Critical Reach system) is defined
by 3 elements:
(1)
Geography: State, County, City
(2)
Organization Type: Law Enforcement, Government,
Business, Education, Medical, Media, Transportation, Community
Group, Individual
(3)
Organization Subtype: Each Organization Type
contains multiple Subtypes (e.g., for Org Type
Education, Subtypes include High Schools, Middle Schools,
Elementary Schools; Org Type Law Enforcement includes
Subtypes Police, FBI, Military, Highway Patrol, DEA,
etc.).
Authorities
can also create “Private Groups” for alert distribution
to specific groups, such as Task Forces or internal emails.
Once addresses
are input, authorities can create an alert, select which authorities or community
members should receive it, then send it to those precise locations
in minutes.
