Reply #165: the facts about my employment [View All]

[peacetheonlyway]

I have in the past worked for Intervoice a company that participated in a homeland security funded pilot project in San Diego called ResponseNet that was piloted in the city of Chula Vista. Our software was part of the simulation along with some great stuff from www.emergencyemail.org where we did a mock notification of over a million people to evacuate for a simulated biological terroist emergency. it was a great project and very rewarding to me to participate in. I feel Bush is leaving our homeland completely unprotected and since 9/11 when I was supposed to be in the trade center on that day, I have kept my telecomms career focused on homeland activity as I feel we did not have to lose as many people if we had a smart evacuation system that notified people by cell/radio/TV/internet, etc.

one great aspect of the project was finding this website:
www.emergencyemail.org which notifies you of weather conditions and other homeland threats via cell, homephone or email/instant message. it's great technology.

I no longer work for Intervoice, FYI....
I have never worked directly for homeland security. I'm sure my activist background would not get me in the front door there.. nor would I want to....
