Chicagoland NW Suburban IL Real Estate: Hoffman Estates Implements New Emergency Alert System

This is great news for the Village of Hoffman Estates!

You can never be too prepared! – A new emergency alert system has been rolled out for Hoffman Estates courtesy of the Everbridge Mass Emergency Notification System.

This system is designed to provide essential information quickly in a variety of emergency situations (lost children, evacuations, important police and fire activities). The system can also improve public awareness in non-emergencies, such as Village events, road closures and special services.

If an emergency occured, the village officials can notify residents in a matter of minutes. The system delivers messages across all communication platforms, including cell and landline phone numbers, e-mail addresses, instant messaging, fax, personal data assistants (PDAs), and pagers listed within the system. If phone lines are busy, the system will redial a predetermined number of times to make contact. If an answering machine picks up the call, an emergency message will be left on the machine. If the telephone rings without an answer (after a predetermined number of attempts), the system will use the next contact path that has been supplied by each resident. The system is currently loaded with every listed landline phone number from existing 9-1-1 data.

This is great news and I am sure it will prove useful. Also, I have to mention that the Village will never share or distribute your personal information, unless required to do so by law. If you live in Hoffman Estates, click here to register your information.
