National Amber Alert Awareness Day

One of the most important and motivating reasons for rural schools and communities to have a broadcast communications system in place is the ability to send out Amber Alerts. Getting accurate and timely information about a child abduction out to the public is critical to rescuing kids who could be in danger.

Yesterday, January 13 was National Amber Alert Awareness Day, a time to remember those families who are missing children, and to say thanks to all of the local law enforcement, state officials, and volunteers who support the Amber Alert system. We at Communications Made Easy would like to do just that. Thanks to all of you who are there to keep our children safe!

Communications Made Easy makes it simple to send out an Amber Alert, or any other emergency message regarding the safety of children and adults. And in unfortunate circumstances, it can also be extremely helpful to coordinate the search of a missing person, transmitting newly learned information or directing and instructing volunteers. It pays to sign-up for CME's services now so you can be prepared in case of such emergency.
