Life is unpredictable, even in small Ohio towns.

At 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, a One Call Now message went out to all parents and staff within the Franklin City School District alerting them to the attempted abduction of a Franklin Junior High School student, said Sheryle Moore, secretary to the superintendent. “It gets the facts to people right away and it makes them feel better to be in the loop,” Moore said.

These same school officials needed to get an emergency safety alert out to thousands of families this past October when dozens of wild animals were freed by their owner from a local sanctuary. One Call Now stepped up when their old notification system failed— getting a call out to anxious parents in minutes, informing them of the school closing and relieving school administrators.
