White Papers
The Three States of Emergency Public Alerting
Communications related to disaster events are important to save lives. This Paper considers the three types of communication that contribute to an effective strategy to ensure that when disaster strikes, there is minimisation of damage to life and property.
A Comparison Between Broadcast Radio and Cellular Technologies for Emergency Public Alerting
TSUNADO New Zealand Limited (aka DIWA) has developed a system for nationwide Public Alerting based on Broadcast Radio technologies. The decision to use Broadcast Radio and Satellite systems as the primary communication channel, as opposed to cellular and internet based technologies, is outlined in this White paper.
Waking a Sleeper
TSUNADOAlert Radios are provided with an internal alert device similar to smoke alarms. This White paper outlines how different and effective the TSUNADO alert is in waking a deep sleeper.
Prepping for the Improbable
“The odds are better than Lotto that we're going to cop a tsunami at some stage. And it's not going to be nice.”
Prophet of doom, scaremongerer? Neither, says Gary Benner, who is developer of the tsunami alert system called Tsunado.
“During normal times it's just a radio,” says Gary. “But in the event of a disaster situation like a tsunami, it will let you know in no uncertain terms.”
Gary says he's a realist with a genuine desire to save lives.
