Tens of thousands of our clients started using our message delivery/notification service when snow or rain caused activity cancellations.But this unusual weekend hammered home the fact that ‘it’s more than snow’.
-Our Boston area schools, businesses and clubs made sure to inform parents, staff and members that due to a massive water main break, their facility would or would not have drinkable water Monday.
-Financial Service Firm with offices 50 yards from the Times Square car bomb- kept their staff informed through the weekend using One Call Now.
-The US Coast Guard has been sizzling with our text messages to coordinate their response to the massive oil spill in the gulf.
Schools, fishing fleets and local governments are using One Call Now to keep citizens and workers informed and aware.
-Once-In-A-Century rains in Tennessee & Texas has prompted hundreds of thousands of calls to coordinate evacuation and sandbagging.
-Tornados in Missouri swept the state, but warning messages helped keep people safe.
When Messages Matter, We Deliver.
Are your students, families, citizens, staff and customers as safe as they can be?
When disaster strikes, how fast can you notify everyone that needs to know?
Contact us to get a system in place to send voice, text and email – securely, rapidly, to everyone.
We call everyone in minutes.
We can have you ready to protect, inform and engage those who need and trust you – within the hour.
As a deep blanket of white stuff descends across the eastern US, One Call Now is pumping out the calls, texts and emails. Delays, closings and schedule changes due to weather impacted millions of people served by our clients. Our dedicated staff works 24/7/365 so we can effectively Protect, Inform and Engage.
All ten dialing locations were humming; our triple redundant systems and dozens of alternative phone carriers did what was expected. The system just worked.
This morning, even with tens of thousands of homes without power across the mid west and phone lines down; 99.99% of all calls were dialed within our short Service Level Agreement (SLA) time frame.
It’s puzzling to me that One Call Now is the only company to offer an SLA and one of the few with 24/7/365 toll-free, no-charge tech support for anyone needing to send a message.
Our 35,000 clients know these are critical and crucial requirements when deciding what company to depend on when people’s lives and safety are at stake.
For Business Continuity, School to Parent communications, Government emergency outreach, church/synagogue congregation communications and team information; When Messages Matter, We Deliver.
We ended the year with a great First Night celebration- One Call Now helps to sponsor the alcohol-free, family friendly New Years’ celebration of Arts and Community in Troy, Ohio. We had 18 performers – musicians, swing band, magician/comedian, kids activities and a balloon clown, plus rock, folk, blues, brass, a community art project and much more. We had something for everyone. And everyone came. I guess calling all 14,000 households with a One Call Now reminder may have helped!
More than 1,000 people came downtown for the fun. All free – thanks to a number of generous contributions!
We raised over $500 for the community food bank during the evening as well.
Then New Years’ day dawned cold and clear- so my son and I did the 5K penguin run. -10 with wind chill. A brisk experience, but we felt good afterwards! As a Cross Fit “athlete” (Since my time of 49 minutes was pathetically slow I use the word in quotes), I felt compelled to do a dozen push ups at five checkpoints along the way. Slowed me down, but pumped me up!
Looking forward to a terrific new year and an embryonic new decade to boot!

Overview:
At the heart of contingency planning and management is information – its accuracy and its efficient dissemination.
One top-of-mind concern for organizations this Fall is the predicted reemergence of H1N1. Recent conflicting reports of what’s expected are causing widespread confusion. So far this year the H1N1 virus has infected more than 1 million people across the nation and will pose a more serious threat in the coming months. The presidential advisory panel reported Monday, August 31, 2009 that the H1N1 virus, commonly known as Swine Flu, could infect between 30 and 50% of the American population and could lead to as many as 90,000 deaths this Fall and Winter.
If 40% of your staff is suddenly home with the H1N1 Flu, or caring for loved one who is, how will you continue during their absence? As the next wave of H1N1 hits, mass notification will play a crucial role in business continuity. Businesses with an effective emergency notification plan in place will be prepared to reach all staff with critical information, to communicate alternative work centers and workaround plans—all in a fast and reliable manner to ensure continued operations.
