The Palm Beach County Regional Alert and Notification System partners Emergency Management with fourteen municipalities in Palm Beach County. All support and training for the system is handled by Emergency Management. The system has been in use at Emergency Management for 4 years, and the Regional system has been running since July 2005.
In the four years of operation, the system has been used to make more than 1 million telephone calls, including more than 200,000 during the hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005. These calls have included evacuation callouts, callouts for the malaria incident in 2002, and callouts for boil water orders, and the restoration of infrastructure following Hurricanes Francis, Jeanne, and Wilma.
