<br /> <br />COMMUN., <br />ALERT <br />NETWORK <br />A DIVISION OF A.C.I. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />"M <br />'--;/ <br /> <br />November 1, 1988 <br /> <br />Chief Charles Smith <br />Chief of Police <br />915 South 8th Street <br />LaPorte, Texas 77571 <br /> <br />Dear- Char-l es: <br /> <br />I thor-oughly enjoyed our recent conversation and as promised <br />have enclosed information about Community Alert Network and <br />the services that we provide for emergency response and public <br />notification. I have'also enclosed copies of several recent <br />newspaper articles about Community Alert Network. Additional- <br />(-~ ly, you will find a matrix comparing the strengths and <br />\..._J \.'Jeaknesses of different alerting methodologies as identified <br />in the EPA"s Final Repo~t to Congress on their review of Emer- <br />gency Systems required in Section 305(b) SARA Title III. <br />Since the EPA was not aware of the services of Community Alert <br />Network at the time of their final report, I took the liberty <br />to include Community Alert Network in the comparison matrix. <br />I hope that this letter and the attachments will provide you <br />with a thorough understanding of our services and the poten- <br />tial applications in LaPorte, Texas. <br /> <br />Community Alert N~twork (CAN) provides a uni~ue ~omputer <br />driven telecommunications service which assists organizations <br />and communities when emergency information must be dis- <br />seminated to large numbers of people in a short period of . <br />time. It is a tool to be used by public safety and other <br />emergency officials for targeting or blanketing an area with <br />critical information, which has saved lives in the past. CAN <br />is flexible enough to be used to notify and inform people <br />about a wide variety of situations from chemical spills, <br />fires, explosions, floods and evacuations to finding missing <br />persons Dr the notification of emergency weather conditions <br />and nuclear incidents. <br /> <br />i.G'.' <br />~ -.; - - ...... <br />'.
