| Description: | The Community Emergency Notification System (CENS) is a rapid notification system used to contact the public by telephone during times of emergency. A reverse 911 system, residents receive a recorded message in English and Spanish notifying them of the nature of the emergency, and what steps they should take to eliminate risks associated with the emergency. Any public safety agency in Maricopa County can activate the system, which will be used only for emergency incidents that pose a danger to life or property. Potential uses include emergencies such as major fires, floods, public safety threats, hazardous materials spills, police incidents, and endangered children or elderly persons. |
