The management of emergency plans in localities affected by natural disasters is very complex.The rescue actions, the time of action, the response capacity of the population or informing about the protocol to follow are some of the tasks that the civil protection teams must have under control in order to safeguard all the agents involved: protection of human lives, flora and fauna, material goods, outdoor leisure businesses, etc.
Administration anticipation
Currently, some public administrations have operationally anticipated possible natural disasters. After the arrival of the coronavirus in March 2020, the municipalities launched the deployment of public address equipment to announce and remind citizens of the health measures, in addition to other containment measures. But as a result of the latest events that occurred throughout 2021, such as the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma or the floods due to the rise in the flow of the Ebro river, it has been suggested that there is still much to do to be prepared for emergency situations of this magnitude.

Information and prevention with loudspeakers for emergency plans
Some natural disasters are largely unavoidable, but their impact can be prevented and their consequences on citizens minimized. The use of public address systems and emergency intercoms allow prevention, information and action tasks to be facilitated:
- Prevention notices to citizens before a natural disaster.
- Ability to massively inform of the protocol to follow.
- Citizens can notify citizens through the emergency intercoms so that they come to their aid.
- Centralized management: a control center sends the orders to all the points installed remotely.
To strengthen the vulnerability of populations to natural disasters, it is very important that there are safety and prevention measures to prevent them from being left unprotected. AirVoice is the wireless public address system designed to warn the population through information notices and evacuation plans in emergency areas.
