Community Alert Phone Services
Besides offering automatic telephone reassurance and RUOK® Replacement systems, Database Systems Corp. (DSC) is recognized as a leader in providing automated computer phone services.
DSC maintains a secure call center with redundant and backup resources where it manages automated calling campaigns for a diverse group of organizations and community groups.
This center is used to deliver both community alerts and emergency notifications. A few of the organizations using our services at this call center include:
- Microsoft Corporation
- U.S. Postal Service

Our call center currently maintains hundreds of phone lines and multiple community alert systems capable of delivering over 30,000 calls per hour. The actual number of calls that can be delivered, however, may be limited by the capacity of the local phone service provider.

Warning alerts can be delivered to specific neighborhoods or communities in the event of a chemical spill or pending hurricanes or tropical storms.

Activating Community Broadcasts
Our community alert service is easy to manage and can be activated in many ways. We provide an internet login, with the online ability to maintain your broadcast messages and call lists. Calls can also be initiated by phone using touchtone responses. Finally, automatic phone messages can be initiated and delivered from your own computer or website using Voice XML technology.
Online Emergency Management
Our online emergency broadcast service is easy to manage through our secure website. You must first gather and organize community call lists and manage them in a fashion that best fits the type of anticipated emergency or disaster notification that your community may require. These lists can be stored at our data center and can be modified online as often as you feel is necessary.
Next you can save pre-recorded messages on our data center using our online web services. Or when a disaster occurs, you can simply record your phone message offline or use our toll free phone service to record your phone message.
Finally, you can initiate this emergency broadcast online by pushing the "Start Broadcast" button.
Phone Activated Community Alerts
You can also intiate community alerts using an automated phone answering service which uses our IVR technology. DSC maintains an 800 number that our clients use to manage emergency and non-emergency voice broadcasting. This 800 number call is answered by the same phone systems that perform the emergency broadcasting.
Our emergency notification service delivers messages to individuals or answering machines and can even allow the call recipient to make touchphone selections to contact an emergency response center.
Computer Activated Community Alerts
Our Emergency Notification Systems also support computer and web connectivity using Voice XML technology.
Community alerts can be initiated from your website or computer by automatically sending our call center phone system a message containing a list of one or more phone numbers and a message to be sent to these individuals.
The emergency message that is delivered to your community can be either a text message (which is automatically converted to voice) or a voice file.
