Mayfield and Norcross Introduce America’s Emergency Network, the Nation’s First Comprehensive Emergency Communication System.

Published May 15, 2007

Former National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield and CBS News and WFOR-TV, Miami Hurricane Analyst Bryan Norcross have teamed up with Global Security Systems of Jackson, Mississippi to create the nation’s first comprehensive emergency alerting and communications system. The components of the system are:

AEN on the Internet – a website available free to the public containing video feeds and bulletins issued by emergency management offices and other government agencies.

AEN-TV – a TV channel carrying the most important news conferences and other feeds from emergency management offices and government agencies. Some feeds will be carried live, while others will be prioritized and run on a schedule posted on the channel.

AlertFM (powered by GSSNet)– a comprehensive alerting system using part of local FM stations’ signals (subcarriers) that can send messages instantly to an entire community or to specific neighborhoods or individuals using proprietary technology. In addition, the alerts can be sent to specific mobile phones as text or voice messages and by email.

The fully-deployed AEN/AlertFM system will be a public/private partnership between local, state, and national emergency agencies and America’s Emergency Network. Any government agency with emergency-management responsibilities for a community, regardless of size, will have access to the secure AEN system to distribute their information.
