The Dominican Telecommunications Institute (INDOTEL) has announced the creation of an emergency alert system that will allow the Emergency Operations Center (COE) to warn citizens in emergency situations. The system will use radio, television, the press, and phone communications to get information out to the public. The resolution, No. 079-08, requires all these information outlets to adhere to the resolution. This will also allow the COE to use text and voice messaging services to inform the public about developments. The plan for COE is to give INDOTEL a list of key people who can easily help disseminate the necessary information. In case of an emergency the COE will notify INDOTEL and they will then contact the key information people. The types of messages that will be sent to citizens include red, yellow and green alerts as well as flood warnings.
