Norris has previously told you how important it is work with a good systems integrator to integrate surveillance, an access control, and to have good monitoring and tests, and inspections and service and maintenance. But what about an Emergency Notification System?

Vigilance Emergency Notification System helps protect lives and property.

Vigilance Emergency Notification System helps protect lives and property.

How important is it to have an emergency notification system? We’ve talked about that before as well! And it’s so important, in fact, that one entire county has issued a release notifying ALL residents and businesses in the county to expect automated calls during a test of their emergency notification system.

The Telegraph Herald out of Iowa reported recently that during the course of this week, every single resident and business in the county Dubuque could expect a test call from the system to be sure that all interested parties could be warned of an impending or current emergency.

The story also points out that options for notification via text and email are also available.

Make sure your organization has a tested and true, cutting-edge emergency notification platform like Norris’ Vigilance package in place to protect personnel in the event of any emergency life might throw your way.
