At CallFire we are responsible for sending billions of calls and text messages. That’s a billion with a B. In response to Hurricane Sandra alone, we sent 1.9 million emergency broadcast notifications. Needless to say, we host a lot of data. Here are some numbers that illustrate the data challenges that CallFire infrastructure deals with:
Southern Wesleyan University (“SWU”) approached CallFire with an interesting problem. Based in the Midwest, snowstorms, tornadoes, forest fires and hurricanes are signatures of the four seasons.Instead of watching the royal wedding, we here at CallFire have been following the devastating events in the American South. Nearly 300 people are dead across six states (213 of those in Alabama), and thousands more have been injured. People's homes, belongings, and entire lives have been destroyed in a matter of a couple of days. Now that the tornadoes have passed through and search and rescue operations begin to wind down, it is time to start focusing on recovery.

A series of tornadoes touched down recently in Missouri, Arkansas, and Illinois. Homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed, power went out, trees were downed, and unfortunately, several lives were lost.
