The Federal Emergency Management Agency released the results of their national wireless emergency alerts (WEA) and emergency alert system (EAS) test.

The Regional Municipality of Niagara in Southern Ontario, Canada has selected a critical event management platform to improve security operations, emergency response, and public safety. 

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was looking for a critical communications solution to serve as its primary mass notification system for its AMBER Alerts. 

The University of Utah will hire a chief safety officer and will invest $1 million in campus safety initiatives.

That’s where mass notification systems come into play, as well, as is the case with MillerCoors’ Fort Worth, Texas, brewery, which is located in Tornado Alley and sees about 25 tornadoes each year. The brewery employs 105 employees spread across 150 acres, and it brews 9 million barrels a year. It houses an on-site refrigeration system with 150,000 pounds of ammonia to assist with the brewing process.

Major upgrades to police communications, computer systems and wireless capabilities will enable command staff to respond more quickly to crimes and emergencies.
