The Connected Communities Concept

[Howard Hartman]

The goal is to put as many informed eyes and ears on the street as possible
when there is a missing child, a critical missing person, or high priority alert.

1. Alerting agencies release information directly to the news media.
2. Connected Communities publishes alert information automatically as soon as it is released.
3. The publication process triggers alerting to distribute information to the connected communities based on pre-defined priority guidelines.

The total time from release of information until
distribution is complete is approximately 5 minutes.
