National Notification Network Enables Kenyon International Emergency Services Team to Communicate During Crisis in Southeast Asia
GLENDALE, Calif., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- National Notification Network (3n), a leading provider of mass notification systems, announced today that Kenyon International, the industry leader in disaster and mass fatality management, is using the 3n Mass Notification System to coordinate deployment of their disaster response/recovery teams in recovery efforts after the devastating tsunami and earthquake in Southeast Asia.
Houston-based Kenyon International Emergency Services is providing multiple disaster response services, ranging from mortuary and memorial services to recovery of personal effects and shipping the dead to families. Kenyon has established an operations center in Thailand with a full team of forensic dentists, disaster management and mortuary experts.
Since Kenyon team members are able to use the 3n System to confirm message receipt, Kenyon can track which communication paths are operable. With many of the normal communication paths not available, the 3n System allows Kenyon to communicate immediately with headquarters and individual team members as a group or one-on-one. The system is enhancing mobilization and the speed at which Kenyon responds to this crisis. Kenyon has more than 1,000 specialized contract workers, such as police officers, morticians and archaeologists, standing by to fly to Thailand as needed.
Messages are distributed to all modes of communication used by the team including phone, email, pager, fax and wireless devices such as laptops, PDA's and Blackberries. The system allows administrators to track confirmation of message receipt.
"Kenyon International is responding as quickly as possible to this unthinkable disaster," said Cinta Putra, CEO and co-founder of 3n. "We will continue to do all we can to assist Kenyon in communicating with their team and enabling them to quickly and efficiently respond to the needs of the victims of this tragedy."
