When an emergency strikes, early warning systems save lives. OmniWarn offers turnkey mass notification systems for governments of all sizes, providing effective emergency alert solutions for municipalities.
Governments Need Emergency Warning Systems
Governments of all sizes are responsible for keeping their constituents safe. To do this, they need to quickly and effectively communicate critical information to citizens during emergencies. Without strong emergency alert systems in place, consequences include severe injury, loss of life, and major property damage.
Local, state, and federal governments handle many different kinds of emergencies. Types of emergencies include:
- Weather and climate emergencies, such as tornadoes, flooding, wildfires, lightning, and blizzards.
- Missing and endangered persons emergencies.
- Public health emergencies, such as pandemics and foreign animal disease outbreaks.
- Infrastructure emergencies, such as power outages, bridge collapses, and dam failures.
- Safety emergencies, such as active shooters, bomb threats, and acts of terrorism.
- Technological and industrial emergencies, such as hazardous material accidents, nuclear explosions, and pollutant spills.
How Can a Government Notify Citizens About Emergencies?
Mass notification systems for governments allow communities to prepare and respond faster in emergency events. There are different ways local/regional government can notify communities about emergencies, including:
- Outdoor warning sirens, also known as tornado warning sirens or storm sirens.
- Giant voice sirens to communicate specific messages to citizens.
- Indoor warning systems installed in buildings to warn about severe weather, intruders, and other immediate dangers.
- Real-time alerts and mass text messages sent to mobile devices.
- Outdoor cameras to monitor weather conditions actively affecting your target area.
- Weather stations and sensors to provide real-time weather data about wind speeds, water levels, and more.
Custom Designed Mass Notification Systems for Governments
We design emergency notification systems tailored to the needs of you and your constituents. OmniWarn is factory-trained and certified to design, repair, and install Federal Signal mass notification sirens and systems. Our mass notification systems incorporate traditional sirens, IPAWS integration, text messages, phone alerts, and more.
Our Design Process
First, we meet with you to identify your requirements. During this free consultation, we learn more about the needs of your team and the constituents you serve.
Next, we assess the area you want to cover and create a layered siren map. Using advanced sound propagation software, we perform a detailed acoustic study on the target area.
This provides data on the type of siren you should use and how new sirens can mix with your existing sirens to improve coverage. Our process also identifies topographic factors that can affect sound, like elevation changes and buildings.
Using this information, our engineers design and install an outdoor warning system for your target area. Our siren system engineering makes sure you have effective coverage everywhere you need it, keeping your community safe.
