About
the Conference
Due
to recent extreme emergencies such as Katrina, government
leaders have been reminded of the urgent need for emergency
communication and notification solutions. During a crisis
situation and to support continuity of critical government
functions, it is important to send emergency action messages
to thousands of email addresses, cell phones, BlackBerry’s
and other wireless devices quickly. The ability to communicate
during a catastrophic or man-made disaster is crucial
to save the lives of our citizens and restore critical
public and government functions.
The
goal of the "Emergency Communication and
Notification Solutions for Government and Business”
is to inform federal, DoD, state and local and
business leaders on current trends and directions in this
important sector. Government and commercial case studies
will profile best practices. Industry will report on this
important sector, trends, directions and emerging solutions
– all geared to assist government and commercial
emergency response planners as they prepare to define
needs and requirements.
