Tillamook County Emergency Communications District
(Tillamook 9-1-1) has recently contracted with Inspiron Logistics for their
Wireless Emergency Notification System (WENS) to deliver Tillamook 9-1-1’s
emergency notifications.
The emergency notification system will be used when Tillamook 9-1-1 needs to deliver emergency information to targeted groups of Tillamook County residents.
Tillamook 9-1-1 currently uses this system to contact and deploy emergency responders in Tillamook County to include the Tillamook County Search and Rescue Team.
Tillamook 9-1-1 currently purchases the phone database for traditional land lines located within Tillamook County. Due to emerging technologies many households within Tillamook County do not have traditional land lines and are using Voice Over IP and cellular services. With this new system residents will be able to register their cellular and Voice Over IP phones so Tillamook 9-1-1 is able to deliver emergency notifications to more of our residents.
Residents are able to choose to receive any notification through text messages instead of the traditional voice message that was used in the past.
Residents who receive the voice messages will notice a change. As of February of this year the voice messages will use an automated voice instead of the recorded voice you may have heard in the past.
With
the automated voice, we are able to get messages out much faster that we could
in the past.
