EBS: Audio Bulletin Board

Overview

The Audio Bulletin Board is a feature that enables your constituents to retrieve an audio message at their convenience. It is similar to a voice mail system: you leave a message and others retrieve the message.

This feature can be of importance to you if you are unable to reach all the constituents affected by an event or an incident that would affect those constituents. For instance, you need to notify the surrounding community of the status of a hospital or government building that was closed for safety reasons.
