Camarillo Joins the Reverse 911 Operation

Reverse 911 in Camarillo


In order to understand the significance of this new 911 system, it is important to understand the idea behind Reverse 911.

What Is Reverse 911?
Reverse 911 Logo
Reverse 911 is a telephone-based communication system which may be used in case of an emergency to notify the residences and business owners in a community. The system contains both listed and unlisted phone numbers. If your phone is busy during the emergency calls, the system will continue calling until it gets a free signal. In case an answering system picks up the phone, the system will leave a message about the related emergency. (source: Reverse 911)

"REVERSE 911® is a communications solution that uses a patented combination of database and GIS mapping technologies to deliver outbound notifications."

Reverse 911 are used all over the country, in schools, crime solving (Amber Alerts), and businesses to keep the lines of communication open.

In Camarillo the Reverse 911 system is operated by the Ventura County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services (OES).

According to OES many listed and unlisted land lines of At&t and Verizon customers in the city of Camarillo are already entered into the Reverse 911 program. However, if you wish for your Cell Phone number to be added to the Reverse 911, you would need to contact the OES at: (805) 648-9283 OR visit www.CountyOfVentura.org and click on the Reverse 911 logo.

Mana, we experienced the use of this system during the last Malibu fire.  It worked really well!  I think everyone was very pleased with how this system called out each areas changing evacuation status and had everyone on the same page.   Beats the heck out of a lone sheriff's car with a megaphone!

Hi Mana - The reverse 911 feature sounds like it could turn into a life saver!

Posted by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty) about 1 year ago

Hi Mana, I love this reverse 911 process. More communities should have it installed. Camarillo is very forward thinking in this area.

Elaine, I had no idea. I hope we never have to use the system.

Bill, It has in many cases.

Gary, I am sure it is going to be a standard feature in all communities across the US before we know it.

I love this concept - not available to my knowledge where I live - but from the stories I have heard it is a great thing to participate in and makes for have a lot of notice in case of an emergency

We need this here too....

Hi Mana,

This is so valuable, it's great information to get out. This would probably be worth sharing multiple X.

The OC is working on something similar, it's called Alert OC. I talked with my own city of Brea about it yesterday. It's still in the works and like your's consumers can provide cell/work #'s which can be life-saving.

My church has a system for immediate contact to everyone, it's was used the day of 9/11 to call members to a prayer service just hours after the attack.

What a great feature for Camarillo to offer its residents!  Something like this would be wonderful along the Gulf Coast for hurricane evacuation updates...

Posted by Lisa Heindel, New Orleans West Bank Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty Crescent City West Bank Partners) about 1 year ago

Thesa, I am sure it'll be a part of your community soon.

Sally, You guys definitely need this system in Hawaii.

Lynda, Most cities in Ventura County have the system in place now. I am used to the system because the area schools have been using this system to notify the parents of big events and etc... I am sure this is going to be a country wide service soon.

Lisa, I thought you guys would have it for sure!!!!! If not, you'll have it soon. BTW: Did you get my txt during the hurricane.

Posted by Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (805 County Real Estate) about 1 year ago

Mana, I did!  But I didn't have your phone number in my cell, so I had to do a look up of the area code to find out who it was - my husband was saying "Who?" while I was smiling and telling him, "It's got to be Mana in Camarillo" :)  Thanks for checking on us - we had difficulty using the phones from our area code.

Posted by Lisa Heindel, New Orleans West Bank Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty Crescent City West Bank Partners) about 1 year ago

Lisa, I'm just so, so , so, so glad you guys are okay. Take care.

Posted by Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (805 County Real Estate) about 1 year ago

This is good news... any way to expand the service... and to take danger away is welcome.

Posted by Chuck Willman, Arizona Realtor® 480.292.0600 (Gentry Realty) about 1 year ago

Nice.  I've heard they are planning on getting something like that where I live.  I think it's a great idea.  The ability to communicate these days is great.  Saves a lot of lives.

Posted by Jeff Stinson (Kasteel Property Management - Property Manager) about 1 year ago

Chuck, I think so.

Jeff, That would be great. As I mentioned earlier, I think before too long the whole country is going to benefit from this service.

Posted by Camarillo CA Real Estate Agent/ Mana Tulberg (805 County Real Estate) about 1 year ago

Mana- Is this available all over the country or just in your area?

Posted by Nestor & Katerina Gasset Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.) about 1 year ago

Hi Katerina, The system and the services are offered in limited areas of the country. However, I am sure this great system is going to be standard in most USA cities soon.
