Emergency Communications Network Expands Staff
ORMOND BEACH, Fla., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Emergency Communications Network (ECN), operator of the CodeRED emergency notification network, today announced promotions for key staff and the hiring of an experienced Florida city manager who will assist with outreach and sales. Among the changes:
* David DiGiacomo has been promoted to Vice President of Operations from Executive Director of ECN. In this new position, DiGiacomo will oversee the customer relations management team and assist in setting the organizational vision, strategy and overall business planning. DiGiacomo has been with ECN since the company was formed.
* Michael Staley has been promoted to Director, Strategic Alliance Programs from Business Alliance Manager. In addition to his work developing alliances with complementary solutions and working with their management and customers, Staley has been tasked with developing additional and third party sales channels for CodeRED. Staley joined ECN last year.
* Howard Tipton will consult with ECN on outreach and sales to state and local government officials and key staff, such as city managers and fire and police chiefs. Tipton has served as city manager in Orlando and Daytona Beach, Florida and is active in the International City/County Management Association (ICMA).
"We're now positioned for major growth in the short-term," said Bob Poe, president of Emergency Communications Network. "There's no other notification system out there that works as effectively as CodeRED. CodeRED has proven itself, and we're reaching out to municipalities and private companies to assist with their emergency preparedness."
CodeRED is a patented, real-time Internet-based message delivery system that can make over 60,000 recorded phone calls per hour into a geographic area based on the specifics of the situation. CodeRED was designed to provide immediate access to timely information, including boil water alerts, weather emergencies, local criminal activity, and homeland security issues. For instance:
* CodeRED was called into service in several mid-Atlantic states to alert residents before and after Hurricane Isabel struck last fall;
* Flagler County, Florida captured an armed and dangerous registered sex offender on the prowl in a suburban neighborhood after alerting residents using CodeRED; and
* Hernando County, Florida officials found an abducted 14-year old girl after she vanished from Bible study class using CodeRED, and Sheriff Richard Nugent credits CodeRED as working "faster than the Amber Alert."
ECN counts among its clients municipalities from around the country, as well as the national lost-child advocacy organization A Child Is Missing. "Our current clients are the best advocates for CodeRED," DiGiacomo said.
