The public address system for the 4077th unit on TV’s “M*A*S*H” was enough to alert all personnel that wounded soldiers were arriving. In the real world, a more far-reaching system is needed to alert people in an emergency. Some situations require that officials notify thousands of people quickly using computers, handheld devices, phones or loudspeakers. However, combining the three alerting capabilities — PA system, network and phones — can present a challenge.
