The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM), a Division of the Ministry of National Security, aims to reduce the impact of unprecedented public and national disruptions. “Through this system, we can aim to save lives and property,” the ODPM said. The Public Alert Notification System (PANS) is being implemented in Trinidad and Tobago and members of the public can sign up now to receive alerts from the ODPM in a number of ways. Interested persons can sign up on the ODPM’s website to receive alerts by answering a few questions to create an account. PANS allows for nationwide notification, combining real-time situational awareness and mass alerting capabilities. The system offers multi-platform communication prompts, across various channels. PANS will send its alerts via a phone call, the Everbridge mobile app, SMS text message, email, home phone, work extension line or fax, all while protecting the privacy of individuals who registered and submitted their information. The Everbridge mobile app can be downloaded on Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store. From next month, there will be a national focus on disaster prevention and preparedness across the country. The ODPM will be using the month of May to prepare the population for all the various natural hazards which T&T faces, including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and yes, even bomb scares. The population will have a new alert system to warn them of approaching and ongoing emergency issues.
