Our Community Information Line Service protects by informing those who are displaced ....
FirstCall’s Community Information Line Service is an inbound telephone messaging and notification system that allows universities, K-12 schools, hospitals, government agencies and industry the ability to provide the community with important, timely information about hurricanes, tornadoes, campus intruders, and other high profile events occurring in the area.

The system has two primary capabilities:
» The first alert tool enables Emergency (EOC) Directors to access the system from any phone. Authorized personnel are easily able to pre-record messages via telephone, then change and manage incident messages

» The second tool enables the public to call into the system and listen to messages placed there by EOC Managers. The public can only listen to messages; they cannot create or place messages.

Creating a New Message
Users can record predetermined messages and then record situational messages on the fly during the emergency alert. Prompts guide the EOC user through recording a message.
