EMTEL designed an emergency management telecommunication model called RESPOND®; Respond to Emergency Situations, Prediction Of Natural Disasters. This RESPOND® model first addressed natural disasters and was later modified to address man-generated disasters and terrorist attacks. The RESPOND® model was divided into three development parts: Sensor and Detection Systems; Notification Development and Tracking Systems, and Information Delivery Systems. Five years of research and development coupled with countless meetings with emergency managers and public safety officials resulted in the most sophisticated, integrated emergency notification system available. The multiple wireless geo-graphic and redundant front end computers coupled with the triple redundant integrated call center engines comprise the extremely reliable geo-coded notification system EMTEL calls OutReach911. This map driven wireless, mobile, robust, friendly, affordable, fast and portable outcalling notification system is mounted on the Panasonic Tough Book Laptops to provide for the notification of responders or the general public from a vehicle anywhere, anytime. OutReach911 is the foundation technology for RESPOND® which includes twenty-two other emergency telecommunication products. The RESPOND® suite provides solutions for mitigation, operations and recovery processes and communications. The RESPOND® system provides information delivery on thirteen data/voice infrastructures with the push of one button. This solution provides more parallel communication technology than any other EM industry provider. EMTEL will soon provide targeted FM broadcast to single or thousands of FM receivers in a target area. Every phone communication provides real time feedback to the emergency manager in text and graphic representation on the ESRI map. The multi-phone layer technology designed by EMTEL allows for real time overlay comparisons of related data such as a sexual offender base superimposed on the school system base to expedite proximity checks and dispatch police. The new EMTEL on-board simulators and interactive response generators allow for evacuation surveys and damage assessment in real time. Injured and/or special needs persons will be displayed on the map to expedite dispatch and rescue. Reliability, Speed, Mobility, Diversity, Utility, Durability, Safety, Security, Integration and Versatility differentiate the RESPOND® product suite from any competition. Since the technology is Web based, locally based, and collaboration network based simultaneously, and runs on all communication backbones, it is truly a Total Solution for Emergency Management Telecommunica
