ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and Islamabad Police have developed a Mobile Emergency Alert System (MEAS) to ensure effective security of schools and hospitals in Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT).
The System has been developed in cooperation with mobile application developer Pure Push. Under this project, the access of Android-based smartphone application will be given to administrative staff of schools, colleges, universities and hospitals in the Capital city.
Through this system, the staff of schools and colleges would be able to send emergency alerts to get timely help from the police, official sources said on Friday.
The sources said that Islamabad Police would have direct control over the system and ensure better use of the latest technology in managing security matters. The triggers could be activated in situations like armed attacks by anti-state elements, bomb blasts, kidnappings, fire, and other suspicious activities.
