The local police must issue an alert to inform the transportation authorities (rail road and motor vehicle) and the public in the area of the of the situation. The Police Superintendent in the area will use his mobile phone to issue an alert. He/She will access the designated SAMBRO server to login and then begin creating a new alert. He/She will select the relevant flood CAP template and add/edit information including drawing a polygon on the map indicating the effected area. Thereafter, the alert is issued. The designated person at the National Disaster Management Organization will receive an SMS and Email requesting to authorize the message. The person will login to the SAMBRO server, using their mobile phone, and approve (or disapprove) the alert message. If approved, the SAMRBO server will issue alerts to all alert subscribers (including first responders) in the area through SMS and Email. The SAMBRO server will determine the cell towers that are in the demarcated alert area polygon to broadcast the alert through a cell broadcast message to the mobile phones covered by those cell towers. |
