Emergency Communications Tool

The ability to contact employees in an emergency is a vital part of a disaster plan.

Companies have traditionally used "telephone call-trees" as a way of passing information from one employee to another. Technology offers what may be a better solution.

CallFire.com is a company that offers a voice broadcast system. You download your list of phone numbers, record a message and direct the company to send your message either instantly or at a specific time. Your recorded call can direct employees to a specific website or provide information on where to go for additional details of the disaster. This could be used for weather emergencies or other events that showed a business down.

Undoubtedly there are other services that provide a similar function. CallFire.com was the one that came to my attention. Not a bad tool to have at the ready for an emergency.
