Emergency communication system

An emergency communication system (ECS) is any system (typically computer-based) that is organized for the primary purpose of supporting one-way and two-way communication of emergency information between individuals and groups. These systems may convey information over multiple types of devices, from signal lights to text messaging to live, streaming video, forming a unified communication system to optimize communications during emergencies. These systems are often made up of both input devices, sensors, and output/communication devices. Therefore, the origination of information can occur from a variety of sources and locations, from which the system will disseminate that information to one or more target audiences.
