In response to the Swine Flu epidemic, Employers are asking staff to work from home -- and, as schools close, many parents are forced to work from home in order to care for their children. How do employers keep in touch with hundreds of employees with timely, reliable messaging in this emergency situation? The answer is turning out to be low-cost, one-way Pagers as other methods and devices prove unsuitable for emergency use:
|
Cell Phones – Cell phone tree databases are cumbersome to administrate and from a user standpoint there is no way to know if the incoming call is an emergency.
Texting – Skill set problem – many adults consider texting an adolescent activity and more importantly emergency notification text messages have no priority.
E-Mail – E-mail for most people is non-mobile and by nature unsuited for emergency messaging.
Pagers – Still flourishing as a best practice for first responders (including doctors, emergency medical personnel and fire fighters) in emergency situations, pagers are proving to be the communication device of choice in the battle against Swine Flu.
“We have had dozens of inquiries over the past week,” comments Dave Andersen, President & Chief Operating Officer of American Messaging. Companies are looking for an easy way to keep work-at-home people on the alert and updated as to logistics, medical news, company policy and any new measures they may be taking to address this crisis. This communication must be low-cost, simultaneous, immediate and fast to implement. “
American Messaging, is a national leader in the pager market specializing in the area of emergency mass notification, where they have introduced the innovative RAVEN line of Emergency Notification Products and the Intelliguard Program for medical facilities, schools, businesses and communities. In order to meet this crisis American Messaging is offering a Swine Flu Pandemic Program with up to a 20% discount on pagers. See below or for more information please call 1 888 699 8977.
