Why CellAlert™?
Saving Time, Money and Lives
A global, or for that matter, a national public warning system can only be deployed if all stakeholders are involved and have something to gain from the deployment of the service.
The stakeholders with a vested interest are: Governments, technology providers and us the citizens.
CellAlert™ is an internationally recognized brand, administered under the guidance and stewardship of an International Board of Governors and licensed to national chapters for administration and compliance with CellAlert™'s fifteen (15) governing principles. This governing body is CEASA ( Cellular Emergency Alert Systems Association ) which was formed in 2000 by a number of US Citizens concerned about the limited capabilities of the existing Emergency Alert Service that was in place in the USA and wanted this service expanded to include wireless devices.
CellAlert™ became that recognizable icon, or brand, that identified a Government sanctioned and approved Public Service message delivery system distributed by participating wireless providers and local radio, television and cable operators, for mandatory public service announcements to citizens at risk.
CMAS ( Commercial Mobile Alert Service ) was adopted in the USA under the WARN Act, and is approximately 80% compliant with the CellAlert™ service criteria.
In order to demonstrate to all stakeholders how the technology worked and how it would be received by the public, CEASA defined Project FirstAlert and in 2005 launched its first demonstration on a GSM wireless network in Wisconsin. CEASA then selected a different group of stakeholders to complete a demonstration in Florida, this time on an IS-95 TDMA wireless network and in a much larger coverage area. This Florida based Project FirstAlert is now ready to be commercially launched after nearly four years of evaluation and testing, including market reaction and feedback.
