Emergency Notification System

The CAPCOG Homeland Security Program and the CAPCOG 9-1-1 Program are working together to implement the Emergency Notification System (ENS). ENS is a automated emergency notification tool that enables a emergency personnel to notify relatively small numbers of citizens (hundreds to low thousands) by using the 9-1-1 system in case of an emergency which directly affects the population. The system can also be used to notify emergency response groups, disaster recovery planners, and other contact groups in the event of an emergency. Messages are distributed to people via phone and email. ENS is PC-based and uses multiple phone lines to notify people.
