The most valuable things many people have in life are home and family.\u00a0 \u00a0Indeed, we spend our lives working to make the perfect home environment, only to have it whisked away as the result of a single emergency.\u00a0 These days, city\/county alert systems tend to be 0ver-burdened, and you don\u2019t always know how long it will take the First Responders to arrive.<\/p>\n
I know this first hand.\u00a0 I live in a remote mountain community.\u00a0 If there is a need for emergency services, it can take more than an hour to get First Responders on the scene.\u00a0 \u00a0Calling 911 doesn\u2019t really do much good if it takes emergency services that much time to arrive.\u00a0 So, like many communities, we created a volunteer fire department<\/a>\u00a0to address this need.\u00a0 Yet as the discussion progressed about how we would contact people (think phone relay) in such an event, it occurred to me that there was a better way.<\/p>\n And so it was that we set out to write the Community Alert System.\u00a0 \u00a0Think of it as a fully-configurable, community-based 911 system controlled by your local HOA, or a group of residents of your choosing.\u00a0 The concept is pretty basic:\u00a0 We register your location using GPS coordinates tied to an address and a phone number.\u00a0 When a call comes in, the system first determines that the call is from a registered user, then asks the user if they would like to add a recording to the message.\u00a0 This is optional.\u00a0 If no button is pressed or message entered the system moves on and notifies local First Responders that are just a few yards \u2014 rather than a few miles \u2014 away.<\/p>\n Ultimately, your \u201ccommunity\u201d is whatever you define it to be.\u00a0 Whether that constitutes the homes in your area, or a group of friends and\/or family.\u00a0 So the\u00a0 Community Alert System allows you to define your own first responders!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 The most valuable things many people have in life are home and family.\u00a0 \u00a0Indeed, we spend our lives working to make the perfect home environment, only to have it whisked away as the result of a single emergency.\u00a0 These days, city\/county alert systems tend to be 0ver-burdened, and you don\u2019t always know how long […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capture.club\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capture.club\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capture.club\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capture.club\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capture.club\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1988"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/capture.club\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capture.club\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capture.club\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capture.club\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Alert System Features<\/h2>\n
