PATLive Shelters Businesses From Hurricane Season
Voice Broadcasting From PATLive Enables Organizations to Send Multiple Emergency Alerts
TALLAHASSEE, FL--(Marketwire - May 31, 2007) - PATLive's timely release of a Voice
Broadcast Service coincides with the start of Hurricane Season on June 1st.
Voice Broadcasting, popular with businesses and educational institutions,
is also highly prized by state agencies and community organizations that
must send alerts to hundreds or thousands of recipients on short notice.
Experts predict that this year's hurricane season will be very active and
businesses are advised to be prepared. According to PATLive's Senior Sales
Support Analyst, Sandi Gosnell, Voice Broadcasting is fundamental to
disaster planning: "In times of forced evacuations, Voice Broadcasting can
be used to let area residents know of the closest open shelters. It can
include brief reminders with other pertinent information, like telling
citizens to bring their important papers for safe keeping. Some schools
already have this service set up to notify parents when school is being
cancelled due to weather conditions."
PATLive has specialized in automated and live telephone answering services
for several years. With the addition of Voice Broadcasting, any business
can communicate even more effectively before, during, and after an
emergency. Because of PATLive's wide range of experience in the industry,
the company can offer extras with its broadcast service, such as
transferring recipients to a PATLive Receptionist for personal attention.
The service is user-friendly: recorded messages are disseminated 24/7 and
online access allows users to upload call distribution lists they've
created for their broadcasts. Gosnell: "When you're dealing with an
emergency, the last thing you need added to your list is to call every
employee to let them know whether to come to work or not. Voice
Broadcasting can handle that for you."
