When Disaster Strikes use EZSurvey SMS
When disaster strikes, landline phones go down and cell phone networks can be either knocked out or overwhelmed. To the rescue comes text messaging, via cell phones or Research In Motion BlackBerry PDAs. After the World Trade Center attacks, Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, this was one of the only ways that people could communicate. Text messages travel on a separate, low-bandwidth spectrum on cellular networks, so they're more likely to go through than voice calls.
Clients have created an Emergency Needs Survey project that will ask the status of key people, facilities, and supplies. With a fixed distribution list of people - it takes one click to initate the process!
Some Cellphone Statistics *
Current Population Survey (CPS) Estimates of cell-phone only population size and characteristics, 2004.
Those who are young, not married, and/or renting were most likely to have only a cell phone. A relatively large proportion of the households reported they receive more than half their calls on a cell phone.
National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Estimates of cell phone population size and characteristics, 2003. (2004 data being processed)
Wireless-only adults comprised nearly two-thirds (62%) of the population of adults without landline telephones. Surveys of wireless-only adults will capture more than 80% of college-educated adults and higher income adults without landlines.
