People whose hobby was radio were important for helping get communications between the different emergency departments, because their radios worked differently.
London Subway Bombings
On the day of the London Subway Bombings, mobile phone networks, including Vodafone, reached full use and were not available by 10:00 a.m. (which was only about an hour after the bombs exploded).
Because of a very old radio system, the damaged trains were not able to communicate with the "Transport for London" control center or emergency workers.
Emergency services managers, of the London Ambulance Service for example, had to depend on the already unavailable mobile phone network because there were not enough digital radios.
The Access Overload Control (a special emergency plan also known as "ACCOC"), which was used only in a 1km area around Aldgate Tube Station, was not helpful because many of the emergency workers did not have phones that could work with ACCOC.
After the bombing, the London Assembly decided that there needed to be a digital radio communications system in London that could work underground.
2011 Joplin, MO Tornado
161 people were killed and at least 990 people were injured when an EF5 tornado hit Joplin, Missouri.
Because Joplin is in a tornado area of the United States, many people thought the tornado sirens were normal and ignored them.
Instead, many people who lived there waited until they got more information another way, such as seeing the tornado, a radio or tv report, or hearing another, second siren.
Afterward, a special group of people recommended that emergency warnings should consider  how people understand emergencies and make them think about how quickly they need to respond.
NOAA officials are thinking about ways to change the warning system to warn people about smaller tornadoes in a different way than the bigger ones.
When Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 hurricane, hit New Orleans, the emergency communications systems were completely destroyed, including power stations, internet servers, mobile phone towers, and 911 services.
The Federal relief workers' satellite telephones could not work with other devices, even when they did work.
A few AM radio stations were able to continue broadcasting throughout the storm.
WWL, a radio station, remained working by broadcasting from a closet.
Amateur radio was very important in the rescue process and worked well when 911 communications were damaged or not working.
Virginia Tech Massacre
The Virginia Tech massacre, which caused 33 people to die, helped cause people to talk more about emergency communication systems in schools.
Virginia Tech already had some communication systems, including e-mail and text notifications, but did not have a good plan for using them.
No warnings were sent out until after the event, two and a half hours after the first shootings.
Since this event, Virginia Tech has improved its emergency communications systems, especially public systems, since students can not always check e-mail often and professors often tell their students to turn off their wireless devices in class.
Because the massacre happened very quickly, within 10 minutes, other schools have also implemented new, improved emergency communications systems with a focus on speed of communication.
2011 Tōhoku Earthquake
The JMA's earthquake early warning system, which uses seismometers, was able to alert millions of people across Japan about the coming earthquake using radio, mobile phone networks, including Docomo, AU, and SoftBank, and television, including both NHK channels and cable channels.
The tsunami warning system alerted people soon after the earthquake, but the tsunami was larger than expected.
In areas with infrastructure that was still working, even though telephone lines were not working well, the Internet was still working.
In the hardest hit areas, especially Sendai and other areas of Miyagi, Iwate, and Fukushima Prefectures, satellite telephones were often the only type of communication that worked reliably.
The following nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Plant was associated with many communications problems.
There was no communications plan, internal communications were poor, external communications were slow, and the public soon would not trust TEPCO and the nuclear industry.
The main criticism was a failure of the government to release accurate information about the disaster.
Many people wanted the government to communicate more truthfully and quickly with future events.
2012 Aurora Movie Theater Shooting
The 2012 Aurora shooting happened on July 20, 2012, when a gunman opened fire during a midnight showing of the movie "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colorado in the United States.
During the attack, the gunman was not stopped.
Many of the people in the audience even thought that the action was part of the movie, as a special effect.
It often happens in movie theaters that people are told to turn off their communications devices (for example cell phones); and no attempt was made to warn them this way.
In this type of situation, an on-location, clear warning might have helped lessen the effects of the attack.
According to early reports, the suspect first went into the theater as a paying customer.
He then exited and held open an emergency exit, while he went to his car to get his armor and weapons.
He then attacked after coming back in through the open door.
With different systems, this could have provided a warning.
Technology exists that can warn about open doors (such as an emergency door that should not normally be open), and can send clear warning and instructions to any types of device, including a movie screen projector.
The theater's fire alarm system began sounding shortly after the gunman began shooting.
People would naturally want to leave the building, if they hear a fire alarm; but in this case, the gunman was specifically shooting at people who tried to exit.
Properties of Emergency Communication Systems
Speed of Delivery
An emergency, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is a surprising event or group of events that needs very quick actions.
Because of that, it should be very important that any communication about an emergency be well-timed and quick, so things will not be damaged or people killed.
For example, during the Virginia Tech massacre, about two hours had passed before the first communication (an email) was sent to workers and students; and by that time, the person who was using the gun had already went into a building where he was going to begin his attack.
In that case, it was not until about twenty minutes after the violence began, that a loudspeaker announcement was made for people to hide.
In many situations, it's likely clear that just seconds and minutes are the most important for communicating during emergencies.
During an emergency, users need to quickly and easily send their messages; and they need to be able to do it so that they are sure it succeeds and with a secure and easy to use interface that can be used from any location.
An emergency communication system that can be used by normal people will be successfully used and managed.
During emergencies, which can sometimes cause people to die, campus managers must be able to react to the emergency and start the alert system quickly.
But sending emergency warnings is probably one of the most uncommon and unfamiliar things to do.
So, it's most important that a system be easy to use.
But, even though a good emergency communication system must be easy to use, its technology should be very advanced and complex.
It should be advanced because that is needed in order to make sure many different things can work together, to create and send emergency communications in many possible ways.
The important thing, though, is that an advanced system should still be easy for someone to use for both emergency and normal communications.
The ability to use a system for normal communications is also important so the operator (who paid for the system) can get the most value.
It is also important so that people can be familiar enough with the system that they can use it during a stressful emergency situation.
Low Price
In general, the lower the cost of buying, installing, and maintaining an emergency communication systems is, the more popular such systems may become in society; and the more common these systems are, the more likely it is that these systems will be available to help during emergencies in more locations.
More important than just helping with emergency response, modern mass-notification systems have become a valuable thing to have for everyday, non-emergency communications.
Being able to use an emergency communication system for both kinds of communications lets the owner of the system get the most value.
Giving Instructions
An obvious need for any modern emergency communication system is that, instead of just giving warnings, it must also be able to give clear instructions about what to do because of the emergency.
The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center for Wireless Technologies found that, no matter what type of warning was first sent, another second type of warning was needed before people would trust the warning and do something because of it.
A system that is able to give warnings in many different ways may save lives and stop an emergency from being too terrible.
Separate Recipients
Emergencies often require delivery of different versions of the same message at the same time.
For example, in an armed hostage-taking emergency, the people inside a building may need to get instructions to lock the door, while police and other people may need to be aware that all of the doors could be locked and other information, so they can decide what to do.
Using that, some of the more modern emergency communication systems such as Siemens Sygnal or MessageNet Connections say that they can send a single message at one time that gives full details to first responders while customizing that same message to give more simple instructions to lock doors to the people inside the building.
By using a single message that divides the content between types of users, fewer messages have to be created and sent, which may also save time.
Multiple Communication Paths / Backup
There should be multiple ways of sending emergency information so that if one does not work, the others might.
Also, research shows that people will check more than one communication method before they take action.
The public expects to be contacted in many different ways.
Besides phone calls and emails, people also expect to be reached by text messaging, and fax.
Also, the public may look to social media (for example Facebook and Twitter) as another way to receive messages and check for updates.
The Partnership for Public Warning states, “A single warning is frequently insufficient to move people to action, especially if it cannot be confirmed by direct observation.
For most people the first warning received captures their attention and triggers a search for corroboration, but cannot be relied on to elicit the desired behavior.
Scientific research supports the common-sense observation that people are disinclined to risk being fooled by a single alarm that might prove false or accidental.
Effective warning requires the coordinated use of multiple channels of communication.”
This basically means that when people get a first warning, they want to look for more information about the emergency before they do anything about it.
By having many ways (which all work together) of sending a warning, people will be more likely to react to it in the best way.
Many parts working together
To help many of these properties, an emergency communication system should be able to connect to and communicate with other related systems.
The Partnership for Public Warning states that a basic problem is that many parts of existing warning systems do not work together.
Because of that, whenever a warning is sent, it often takes a lot of time and effort.
Also, there are multiple ways that an emergency communication system might receive an original warning.
One example of this might be a building’s fire control system sending a notice that a smoke detector has found smoke.
An emergency communication system that was built the right way should be able to receive that notice and turn it into a message that the people in the building can understand and use to decide what to do in order to save lives and property.
Another example might be of the National Weather Service sending a  severe weather warning (for example, by using RSS).
In this example, the emergency communication system should be able to turn that warning into a message and send it in a similar way as the smoke detector example, so people will know what to do.
The ability to Work together should also include old and new technology.
Introducing a new system that cannot work with older existing equipment can cause problems.
Product compared to Service
An emergency communication system may be a product that is owned by the organization using it (for example, a paging network for a hospital), or it may be a service that is owned  by a third-party (for example, a cellular carrier’s network).
Each has good and bad properties; however, services have some major problems for emergency communications, even though many people think differently.
Using SMS as one example, due to the way cellular networks are built, text messaging services would not be able to send a large number of communications in a short amount of time, making SMS service a poor emergency communication method.
On-property compared to Off-property
Property-based ("on-premise") emergency communication systems are those which are mainly or completely in the same location or area as it serves, while off-property ("non-premise") based emergency communication systems are those which are in a different location or area.
There are good and bad properties of each.
Often, non-premise based systems are slower than systems that are premise-based, because the different locations need to be connected using data networks (for example, the Internet).
Older Systems
In America’s early years, common ways of communicating emergencies may have been mostly ringing church bells or people sending messages by riding horses.
Later, as technology developed, the telegraph became an almost instant way of communicating.
After that, radio communications, telephones and sirens became common.
After the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, by the Japanese in 1941, Civil Defense sirens became popular and were used in many military bases and towns across America.
A weakness of these systems is that they were not really able to tell people what they should do.
Modern Systems
Today, modern communication tools such as smartphones, flat-panel digital signage, GPS, and computer speech (among many others) are changing how people are notified about emergencies.
With these more modern tools, there is an ability to provide more specific instructions; so that, instead of just notifying people about an emergency, it is now possible to give exact instructions on what to do because of the emergency.
Also, those instructions may even be customized for those peoples' special situation and location.
For example, smart-phones may have GPS that would allow a map to be shown of safe areas (and perhaps directions for getting there).
Such a map might be different, depending on where the person is currently at.
In a good system, all of these special warnings and instructions could be sent with just a single alert.

The Nimravidae is an extinct family in the Carnivora.
It is a type of cat-like mammal in the suborder Feliformia.
They lived in North America, Europe, and Asia from the Eocene through the Miocene epochs, 42–20 million years ago (mya).
They lasted for about 22 million years.
Although some nimravids physically resembled the sabre-toothed cats of genus Smilodon, they were not closely related, but evolved a similar form through parallel evolution.
The ancestors of nimravids and felids diverged from their common ancestor about 50 mya.
Most had muscular, low-slung, catlike bodies, but with shorter legs and tails.
Some nimravids did evolve into large toothed cat-like forms with massive flattened upper canines and mandibular flanges.
Others had teeth similar to modern cats, with smaller canines.
Some had canines more intermediate relationship between the saber-toothed cats and felids.
These differences must have reflected different methods of attacking their prey.
Not only did nimravids have varied tooth styles, but they also showed the same range of size size and shape as felids.
Some were leopard-sized, others the size of today's lions and tigers, and one had the short face, rounded skull and smaller canines of the modern cheetah.
The Montedio Yamagata is evolving.
Preliminary In  elementary geometry, cones are assumed to be right circular.
Circular means that the base is a circle and right means that the axis passes through the centre of the base at right angles to its plane.
Contrasted with right cones are oblique cones, in which the axis does not pass perpendicularly through the centre of the base.
Definition A conic is the curve got by intersecting a plane, called the cutting plane, with a cone.
The cone is a right circular cone for easy description, but any double cone with some circular cross-section will do.
There are three different types of sections, the parabola, the hyperbola and the ellipse.
The circle is a special case of an ellipse.
Sometimes the circle is mentioned as a fourth type, because calculating with a circle is easier than with an ellipse, most of the time.
The conic sections are known at least since 200 BC,  when Apollonius of Perga (~262 BC to ~190 BC) studied of their properties.
They came to more attention when mathematicians discovered that the solutions of the two-body problem were conic sections.
Shell is globular, not presenting short spire, there are 2 to 3 turns, the outer lip is thin and sharp, columellar area is polished and has a broad wall fell.
The mayor know specimens reach the 10.6 mm.
Its coloration is characterized by axial bands black and white like a zebra, the opening is gray and ocher like parietal callus area and the operculum is bright yellow

The XM8 is a rifle made by Heckler & Koch.
It is an automatic rifle that uses the 5.56 mm NATO caliber ammunition.
The XM8 holds 30 rounds of ammunition.
The US Army was interested in the XM8 because it is a very light weapon.
It weighs only .
The US Army tested ten weapons in a 60,000 round dust test and the XM8 was the best.
This showed that the XM8 is much more reliable than the M4.
Super Typhoon Nancy had extremely intense winds near 215 miles an hour, giving her the strongest recorded winds of any tropical cyclone.
It happened September 1961.
The comparable cyclones of Typhoon Tip, Typhoon Keith, Hurricane Camille and Hurricane Allen all had winds at 190 miles an hour.
The Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale did not exist during 1961, although Nancy would have been classified as Category Five for five and a half days, which would be a record in the Northern Hemisphere.
Nancy was also destructive: she created over $500 million (1961 USD) in damage and killed around 174 people in Japan.
Nancy hit Guam before that.

The Python bivittatus (or Burmese python) is one of the fifth largest snakes in the world.
It is native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas of Southern and Southeast Asia.
Until 2009 they were considered a subspecies of Python molurus.
Now they are recognized as a distinct species.
Burmese pythons are dark-coloured snakes with many brown blotches, edged with black, down their back.
It can grow up to 5 to 7 metres (16 to 23 ft) long, but some may only reach up to the length of 4 metres (13 feet).
They usually weigh around 90 kg.
The longest Burmese python ever recored was a female named "Baby" which lived in the Serpent Safari, Gurnee, Illinois and was 27 years old when she died.
When "Baby" died she was 8.23 metres (27 ft) long, and weighed 183 kg
The Burmese python is found throughout Southern and Southeast Asia including Eastern India, Nepal, Western Bhutan, Southeast Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Northern Malaysia, far southern China, Indonesia, Southern Sulawesi, Bali and Sumbawa.
It lives in grasslands, marshes, swamps, woodlands, river valleys, and jungles with open clearings.
The Burmese python, like all types of snakes, are carnivorous.
They mainly eat birds and mammals like mice, rats, rabbits, pigs and goats.
Some have been seen eating larger animals like alligators and deer.
Burmese Pythons are mainly nocturnal.
Young Burmese Pythons usually live in trees and on ground but when they become older they live mainly on the ground.
They are excellent swimmers and can stay underwater for around half an hour.
Burmese pythons breed in the early spring and females lay around 12-36 eggs in March or April.
The female python then remains with the eggs until they have hatched.
Once the hatchlings use their egg tooth to cut their way out of the eggs the mother then leaves.
The babies often stay inside the eggs until they have completed their first shedding of their skin, after this they leave to hunt for their first meal.
Burmese pythons live for around 20 to 27 years.
A war elephant is an elephant that was trained for battle.
Elephants were guided by people.
The main use of the elephant was in shock tactics to charge against the enemy, trample them, and break their lines.
They were first used in India, but their use spread to other regions.
Pyrrhus of Epirus used many of them, and so did the armies of Carthage.
Hannibal crossed the Alps with a number of war elephants and marched against Rome.
In the west, military tactics soon changed, and reduced the value of a war elephant.
It was the use of cannons that made the war elephant useless in the 19th century.
After that, elephants continued to be used for construction work.

Trappist beer is brewed by Trappist monks.
There are eight Trappist monasteries--six in Belgium, one in the Netherlands, and one in Austria.
Monastery brewhouses, from different religious orders, have been across Europe since the Middle Ages.
The monastery of La Trappe in Soligny had its own brewery in 1685.
Breweries were later added in monasteries of other countries as the trappist order spread from France into the rest of Europe.
The Trappists, like many other religious people, first brewed beer to feed the community.
Now, Trappist breweries also brew beer to pay for their works and for good causes.
Many of the Trappist monasteries and breweries were destroyed during the French Revolution and the World Wars.
With the recent exception of Koningshoeven's Bockbier, Trappist beers are all top-fermented and mainly bottle conditioned.
Trappist breweries use different names for the different beers produced.
The names relate to their strength.
The best known is the system where different beers are called Enkel/Single, Dubbel/Double and Tripel/Triple.
With the importance of the Holy Trinity in the church, it is unlikely that the choice of three types of beers was accidental.
Enkels are now no longer brewed as such.
Colours can be used to tell the different types.
This dates back to the days when bottles were unlabelled and had to be identified by the bottle-top alone.
Chimay beer labels are based on the colour system (in increasing order of strength red, white and blue).
Westvleteren beers are still unlabelled.
There is also a number system (6,8 and 10, as used by Rochefort), which gives an idea of strength.
Achel combine a strength and a colour (of the beer itselfblond or brown).
Achel sells Blonde (8% ABV), Brune (8% ABV), Extra Blonde (8% ABV), Extra Brune (8% ABV).
Chimay sells Red Label (dark, 7% ABV), White Label (Blonde/Tripel, ABV 8%) and Blue Label (dark, 9% ABV).
Koningshoeven sells:
La Trappe Blond (6.5% ABV)
La Trappe Dubbel (7% ABV)
La Trappe Isid'or (7.5% ABV)
La Trappe Tripel (8% ABV)
La Trappe Quadrupel (10%V)
La Trappe Quadrupel Oak Aged (10% ABV)
La Trappe Witte Trappist (5.5% ABV)
La Trappe Bockbier (7% ABV) (Seasonal)
La Trappe PUUR (4.7% ABV) (organic)
Orval sells a "unique" dry hopped 6.2% amber ale.
Rochefort sells three dark ales, "6" (7.5% ABV). "
8" (9.2% ABV) and "10" (11.3% ABV).
Westmalle sells Dubbel (7% ABV) and Tripel (9.5% ABV),
Westvleteren sells Green Cap or Blonde, (5.8% ABV), Blue Cap (dark, 8% ABV) and Yellow Cap (dark, 10.2% ABV).
Belgian breweries have a tradition of providing custom beer glasses.
The Trappist breweries often provide "chalice" or "goblet" style glasses.
The Westvleteren Brewery (Brouwerij Westvleteren) is a Belgian brewery.
It was formed in 1838 inside the Trappist Abbey of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren in the Belgian municipality of Vleteren.
The brewery and its beers are usually called Westvleteren.
The brewery's three beers have an international reputation for taste and quality.
They also have a limited availability.
In 1931, the abbey began selling beer to the general public.
Before, they only served beer to guests and visitors.
It is the only Trappist brewery where the monks still do all of the brewing.
Of the 26 Cistercians who live in the abbey, five monks run the brewery, with an additional five who assist during bottling (putting the beer in bottles).
Commercial orientations
As with all other Trappist breweries, the beer is only sold in order to financially support the monastery and other good causes.
There is no advertising except for a small sign outside the abbey.
The monks have repeatedly said that they only brew enough beer to run the monastery.
They will make no more than they need to sell, regardless of demand.
During World War II, the brewery stopped supplying wholesalers.
Since then they only sell to individual buyers in person at the brewery or the visitor's centre.
Westvleteren Blonde (green cap), 5.8% ABV, introduced on 10 June 1999.
Westvleteren 8 (blue cap) (formerly Extra), 8% ABV.
Westvleteren 12 (yellow cap) (formerly Abt), a 10.2% ABV, introduced in 1940.
Until 1999, the brewery also made a 6.2% ABV dark beer and a lighter 4° which was the monks' table beer.
The 8 and 12 are bottle conditioned.
They have a long shelf life.
Some drinkers prefer the taste when the beers have been stored for several years.
The ingredients are yeast, hops, malt, sugar, caramel and water.
The bottles have been sold without labels since 1945.
All of the legally required information is printed on the crown tops.
Because of this lack of space, Westvleteren beers are the only Trappist beers that do not have the official Trappist logo  on the bottle.
The logo is only printed on the wooden crates.
International reputation
Many beer drinkers rank Westvleteren 12 among their favourite beers.
The 8 and the Blonde also rank highly on beer-rating websites.
Despite the popularity, the monks have continued to decline almost all interview.
Non-monastic visitors to the abbey are usually turned away.
