May 18, 2005 -- FamilyFirst Alerts Command Center, a revolutionary system that enables real-time communication between schools, parents and communities, is a never before seen process of bringing the community together for information and emergencies.



"FamilyFirst Alerts Command Center can inform parents of an evacuation and then instruct them on what to do, such as immediately picking up their children at school or at another location," said Donnell McClendon, co-founder of the Command Center. "The system uses text messaging, emails, voice mails, websites and desktop notification, which is more reliable disseminated under poor transmission conditions."



Using text messaging, emails, voice mails and other wireless communication devices, school districts can instantly report truancies, issue school news and reminders, contact faculty and parent-teacher organizations as well as issue an emergency alert in the event of a major incident such as a shooting, lockdowns or a natural disaster.



FamilyFirst Alerts Command Center is a perfect addition to a school's existing emergency preparedness plans and enhances a school's communications program as the system can handle one message or a thousand instantly, reliably and in real time.



Introduced by Built Smarter Web Communications in Phoenix, AZ. with partnership agreements with Chatter Inc., FamilyFirst Alerts, through a Command Center operated in conjunction with a school's website, can reach thousands of parents, teachers, students, law enforcement agencies, etc., in a matter of seconds.



According to McClendon, FamilyFirst Alerts Command Center offers the following benefits:

- Aids infusion of readiness concepts into safe school planning.

- Compliments existing emergency preparedness plans.

- Inspires a commitment of parental involvement in the safety and educational welfare of their children

- Introduction of new resources and technology to help schools prepare and be ready for emergency situation.

- Increase attendance through short message service (text messaging) for notifying parents of truant children.

- Assist Law Enforcement (School Resource Officers) to act accurately and in timely manner.



"Our web-based "Command Center" takes on the look and feel of the current schools website and integrates links back to the schools existing website explained McClendon.



The FamilyFirst Alerts Command Center program is managed through the center and is an easy-to-use, fast and effective web-based imbedded service solution for sending bulk SMS messages to mobile phones from the computer or mobile device.



There are other benefits as well to the FamilyFirst Alerts Command Center including a fully functional Content Management Solution, instant display of a message into website from a mobile device, built-in newsletter manager, built-in database, secure user access, form request builder, event calendar, surveys and more.

   


According to McClendon, the Command Centers can be operated for less than operating costs associated with auto dialers and print campaigns, also the return on investment is seen immediately per month, per student.



Built Smarter Web Communications also specializes in developing and designing individual school and school district websites that will stimulate learning and communication between administrators, teachers, students, parents and the community.
