Red Cell
Red Cell is an emergency alert system that leverages the existing
cellular telecommunications infrastructure to provide real-time
alert notification to decision-makers and warning, in a very surgical
manner, to appropriate personnel in a cell tower footprint. Detection
(e.g. sensors) and analysis (e.g. dispersion modeling) systems coupled
with notification systems (e.g. Red Cell) provide the basis for
an emergency response framework. IDHS members will develop concepts
of operations for employment of the cellular infrastructure for
a priority notification of cellular device users of impending emergency
situations, within a discreet cell tower footprint. The CONOPS shall
consider multiple scenarios, to include force protection, terrorist
actions, natural disasters (e.g. tornado, fire), and local emergencies
(e.g. Amber alert, toxic material release).
