Mass alert system for populations: national alert - A2S
OUR MASS ALERT SYSTEMS FOR POPULATIONS
NATIONAL ALERT SYSTEM
A national alert system can provide better public safety, speed of action, extensive coverage, standardization, flexibility and cost-effectiveness by broadcasting important alerts in real time to the population. You should therefore not neglect its presence within your structure.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ALERT SYSTEM
Governments establish warning mechanisms to warn the population of dangers that are considered general. In the past, these dangers mainly included military threats such as wars, bombings and missile attacks, as well as threats arising from natural disasters such as floods, tsunamis and earthquakes. However, with the advent of modern industrial production, the risks of industrial accidents have multiplied, while current threats come mainly from terrorist and military attacks on a global scale.
States have established emergency plans to deal with emergencies caused by threats. These plans have been drawn up by competent institutions and they define the procedures and measures to be taken by competent personnel. They also include procedures for alerting the population by means of acoustic warning systems. Although there are other means of disseminating warning messages, such as television, radio or mobile phones, warning systems based on electronic sirens equipped with their own communication infrastructure remain the most reliable and effective means of alerting the population of a threatened area.
THE RIGHT SOLUTION
This remarkable overall solution takes advantage of all the technologies of the A2S product range. The system allows the rapid activation of any siren or group of sirens (depending on access permissions) from any alert and notification center in the country in just a few seconds. The system will provide you with feedback within a few minutes to indicate whether the activation was successful. It is possible to activate both state sirens and those of autonomous alert systems, which are managed by industrial companies and have a communication interface with the state alert system.
The alert and notification system covers the territory of the entire state and includes:
- The main alert and notification center at the state level
- Regional alert and notification centers
- A communication infrastructure linking the different alert centers
- Autonomous warning systems
- Interconnection with third-party devices and software
THE COMPONENTS OF THIS ALERT SYSTEM
THE STATE LEVEL ALERT CENTER
The National Alert and Vigilance Centre represents the highest level of control in the system, enjoying total security and capable of continuing to operate even in the event of a power outage.
REGIONAL ALERT CENTER
Local alert and monitoring centres are independent sites whose function is to carry out the same activities as the main centre, but only for their geographical area.
COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE
The communication infrastructure enables instant communication between the various alert and notification centers as well as between other elements of the system.
AUTONOMOUS ALERT SYSTEM
Autonomous warning systems are independent warning systems built and operated by these companies that warn the population of an emergency situation in a threatened area.
PAVIAN ELECTRONIC SIRENS
Pavian electronic sirens are used as finishing sound devices. They are designed so that an acoustic signal can cover a specific inhabited area.
INTEROPERABILITY WITH DEVICES
The national alert system also allows third-party systems to provide, process and evaluate data, which speeds up and optimizes the process in the event of an emergency.
