The Contractor shall provide all necessary infrastructures to implement ENS services. The ENS shall provide comprehensive methods to broadcast information to pre-defined groups of personnel. The system shall support local (district) groups as well as system-wide administrator defined groups.
The initiation process shall start from a web site or telephone by authorized broadcasters. The authorized broadcaster selects predefined groups/scenarios that contain information such as phone and E-Mail addresses. The broadcaster initiates emergency notifications via one or multiple methods to notify users. The application attempts to contact the predefined groups by all possible selected means.
The status of the broadcast can be seen real-time on screen or via report detailed by user and medium used. There will also be exception reports to ensure those not notified can be traced via other methods in the event normal notification is not possible.
