About Dane County's Reverse 911 System
Dane County has implemented a Reverse 911 Community Notification System. The Reverse 911 system allows the County 911 Center to rapidly notify residents and businesses by telephone.
In the event of an emergency, an operator in the 911 Center can identify the affected neighborhood or region of the County and record a message that describes the situation and recommends the protective actions residents should take. The Reverse 911 system will automatically call out to all listed telephone numbers within that geographic area and deliver the recorded message. If phone lines are busy, the system will attempt to redial those numbers a predetermined number of times to make contact. If an answering machine picks up the call, the emergency message will be left on the machine.
