Background and Discussion:
Reverse 911 is a necessary public safety service that allows governmental agencies to communicate with the community during an emergency situation. Reverse 911 provides the county the functionality to send text messages and phone calls to cell phones and landlines within the county's jurisdiction, and to County staff members.
Expected Impact:
The Rave Smart911 service is the only reverse 911 vendor that is compatible with all governmental agency partners within the Sheriff's jurisdiction, due to a school system panic button which requires the Sheriff's 911 call center to have the same system in order to receive the alert.
