Omnilert’s recent
survey of customers from the company's Amerilert and e2Campus services
shows that most respondents were prepared for Hurricane Sandy. Active emergency
preparedness programs and implemented emergency notification systems made a
great impact on these organizations. The use of interactive communication
across a variety of media, such as text messaging, social media and PA systems,
helped keep communities safe, informed and aware of the situation. Other preparedness lessons include taking
forecasts seriously, updating data before the event occurs, sending clear and frequent communications, and securing materials and supplies in
advance. Encouraging personal preparedness and springing into action lessened
potential damage as well.
