SPONSORSHIP
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY
Around the world, the increasing frequency and magnitude of disaster events is resulting in mounting loss of life due to the lack of effective emergency notification capability resulting in;
Alerts that are not timely,
Information that is not trusted,
Not all ‘At-Risk’ populations reachable.
You can help us change this situation and get UPSEN deployed globally.
THE TEAM
ADVISORY BOARD
Douglas Weiser
- Executive Secretariat General – (Acting)
It is safe to say that without the determination and relentless “never quit” attitude and fortitude of Mr. Weiser Cell Broadcast may not have ever been utilized by nearly 20 Nations today for public warning services. The obstacles and hurdles thrown in front of the development of Cell Broadcast for public warning would have forced most humans to call it a day many years ago; but not Bud.
This journey began in 1994 with the death of a family member of one of the early contributors to his not for profit, which had just been formed, due to a tornado in the US mid-west. The story is that of documentaries at the very least. Mr. Weiser is today in the role of Acting - Secretariat General of One World Mobile Alliance to ensure his vision to ensure everyone on the planet can receive an Alert when they are in harms way, not just 19 wealthy nations.
