The application of a 'red alert' would mean a lockdown in the capital. Meanwhile with the specter of another lockdown looming large the residents of Delhi have opinions in the matter. Says Manisha Jain, a resident of sector 11, Dwarka, " I think it is a good idea to impose a lockdown now before things get out of hand. The government has been saying that they are much better prepared than last time to deal with the third wave but still things can get out of hand pretty quickly especially when we all know that the new variants are more infectious.

Another alert is set up for their Leadership team, which consists of their directors, vice presidents, and managers. Methodist has special alerts for their off-site buildings, in case of a situation related to that specific location. They also use Red Alert for random drills, helping them be prepared if an actual emergency would happen.

When an emergency notification is needed, an operator can quickly trigger the alert by simply selecting a group to notify, and typing in the alert message.

Red Alert then relays the message to the appropriate personnel. This helps ensure that they can respond to each situation as quickly as possible. Depending on the type of alert issued, responders may be prompted for an ID and password, for extra security, and to ensure the correct person is receiving the message. Jeri appreciates the flexibility of the system, which allows her to determine whether or not each type of notification requires a response from the person alerted.

It depends if I want them to respond or not. In addition to monitoring the alert progress in the call center, the Leadership team uses the real-time monitor, from various locations, to see the estimated time of arrival for each person.

This instantaneous information is vital, helping them know when assistance will arrive, or if the need to alert more personnel.

Since Red Alert is web-based, the real-time monitor can even be accessed from home, for example, if an alert happened in the middle of the night. Red Alert keeps track of very detailed reports for each alert issued. The flexibility and power of the Red Alert system leads Jeri to continually think of innovative new uses for Red Alert.
