Intrado, one of the newest members of the Conference of Mayors Business Council, presented information on a new program they are conducting with The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Mark Scott, Vice President of Homeland Security for Intrado, briefed the mayors attending the Conference Fall Leadership Meeting in Santa Barbara on a new partnership that allows cities to cost-effectively upgrade the AMBER alert system to include geographic-based, emergency telephone notification. The Center will fund the initial costs associated with localities launching IntelliCast Target Notification events to recover missing children. Moreover, for communities that are not yet subscribers to the IntelliCast Target Notification service, Intrado, in conjunction with the NCMEC, will eliminate the upfront set-up costs to acquire this vital public safety notification service.
