PCSAR is planning on implementing an automated call-out system, where a computer simultaneously dials the members and plays a message alerting them to the event.
Options
Two offers to piggy-back on existing systems have been made.
As part of the H2S Protocol, Shell has offered use of their system.
The Pincher Creek Community Emergency Management Agency (PCCEMA) is rolling out a system of their own to notify residents of major emergencies.
| Feature | Shell | PCCEMA |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | free | one free usage per month; US$.15 per call thereafter (about CA$20 for a full call-out) |
| Predefined lists | one | unlimited |
| Merge lists | no | yes, but duplicates called multiple times |
| Send text message | ||
| Select from within list | no | no |
| Prerecorded messages | yes? | yes |
| Record on the fly | no | yes |
| Advantage to partner | tests their system | tests their system; PCSAR callers could be asked to help with PCCEMA event |
