Lake Region Law Enforcement Center Selects Emergency Notification Provider

Hyper-Reach Chosen to Help Protect Lives and Property 

 

09/07/2023 Lake Region Law Enforcement Center, Devils Lake, ND

For Immediate Release

Telephone-based mass notification systems are used by thousands of public safety agencies across the US to warn citizens about local emergencies, hazards, and other threats.  Now Lake Region Law Enforcement Center announces they have selected Hyper-Reach to help bring this same life-saving capability to the area.  Hyper-Reach is a state-of-the-art mass emergency notification system designed specifically for public safety.  Services are fully operational at this time.

 

The new emergency alert system will provide rapid notification of hazardous and urgent situations using a mix of telephone calls, text and email messages, and even TTY/TDD service for the hearing impaired.  The system sends thousands of these messages to geographically targeted households in seconds, and can simultaneously deliver them to an even broader audience via social media, as well as sending broadcast messages to most current mobile telephones (made since 2011) in an affected area by providing access to FEMA’s Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system. 

 

The Lake Region Law Enforcement Center plans to use the service primarily for alerts about weather and environmental hazards, criminal activity, and missing persons.  Landline phones are automatically enrolled for Community alerts, but Weather alerts to landline phones and Community and Weather alerts to VoIP phones, mobile phones, and email addresses are only included when people enroll.
