Legislator Mangano Approves Emergency Notification System

On July 18, 2007, Legislator Edward P. Mangano and the other members of the Nassau County Legislature’s Rules Committee approved a contract for the County to purchase an Emergency Notification System.  The system will allow the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management to access an electronic map of the county.  Highlighting any portion of the map will result in the system dialing every phone number in the geographic area and will give the county an opportunity to deliver a prerecorded emergency management message to all residents, such as evacuation instructions.

Legislator Mangano stated, “This is another step towards being prepared to effectively react to a devastating storm or manmade disaster and disseminate important information to our residents as quickly as possible.”
