The Gilbert Police Department has implemented a new emergency alert system, RAVE Alerts, a system obtained for the 81 public safety answering points in Arizona.
A public-safety answering point, or PSAP, is a type of call center where the public's telephone calls for first responders (such as police, fire department, or emergency medical services/ambulance) are received and handled.
RAVE Alerts will be used by 9-1-1 centers to notify the public during emergencies, including incidents of severe weather, public-safety concerns, traffic alerts, missing persons, evacuations, etc.
