W.E.B.S. - Wide-Area Emergency Broadcast System.

• Primary Features
• Tower and wall mounts integrate ADA-Compliant
  Emergency Phone and Wide-Area Emergency Broadcast
  System Paging Units also available independent
  of emergency phones.
• Analog and Native IP solutions available

Emergency experts say that while reverse 911
systems can be invaluable, they work best in
fast-moving disasters when backed up by sirens or
other means of blaring warnings to entire
neighborhoods."I'm a big fan of redundant systems
-- the idea is to hit people in every aspect of
their daily lives," said Mark Ghilarducci, an
emergency-management expert with James Lee Witt
Associates. - Wildfire victims criticize

Layer systems so that they overlap, and augment
them with an intelligent voice evacuation

single type of technology will not cover your
every need. -- A new emphasis on communication

WEBS-MT/R
During the summer, Tech instituted a system that
alerts students and staff of emergencies by text
messages on cell phones, e-mail and instant
messages. However, the committee's report noted
that the university's communications systems were
taxed the day of the shootings, and that many
cell phone calls could not go through because of
the huge demand. -- Va. Tech Panel Increase
