Key Features:

Emergency Broadcast System: In a community-first initiative, we are excited to introduce a groundbreaking Emergency Broadcast System. This system allows anyone to record and send voice messages during emergencies. These messages are transcribed to text, broadcast live on the radio, and published back into the app, ensuring critical information is shared swiftly and efficiently during emergencies.

Real-Time Interaction: The Emergency Broadcast System bridges terrestrial and digital platforms, enabling emergency services, media, and the public to communicate quickly using speech. This real-time interaction ensures everyone in the community, everywhere, stays informed during critical situations.
