RediStat Corporation Partners With ALERT FM for Disaster-Proof Emergency Communications

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., May 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- RediStat
Corporation announced today a partnership with ALERT FM to provide
emergency messaging services to its healthcare clients. In addition,
RediStat is developing a ground-breaking video communications service in
conjunction with America's Emergency Network. The announcements were made
by RediStat President, Michael Hemlepp, at the Florida Governor's Hurricane
Conference being held in Ft. Lauderdale.

"We are very pleased to be associated with ALERT FM," Mr. Hemlepp said,
"because they are leaders in emergency messaging and have built the
state-of-the-art system necessary to deliver immediate alerts directly to
private citizens, businesses and our clients -- healthcare facilities --
while AEN's breakthrough technology will allow us to build a
video-communications system tailor-made for our industry."

RediStat is a Comprehensive Emergency Management Planning (CEMP)
company specializing in healthcare, including hospitals, assisted living
and skilled nursing facilities. RediStat has developed the most
sophisticated CEMP in the healthcare industry, enabling its clients to
transfer from normal operations to a crisis mode with minimal disruption to
the daily routine. This process is referred to as "transparent transition."
Additionally, RediStat provides mass notification and satellite
communications technology to its client's emergency response capabilities.

"After Katrina, it was apparent a colossal failure of planning had
occurred," Hemlepp stated, "so we have taken the federally mandated CEMP to
a new level of competence for our healthcare clients, and are providing
advanced technologies and services to ensure comprehensive execution. We
are convinced that this level of planning will save lives and heartaches."

AEN, founded by CBS News Hurricane Analyst Bryan Norcross and Former
National Hurricane Director Max Mayfield, is working with RediStat to
customize its technology platform to create a video communications service
for healthcare clients in order to give owners and managers new and better
ways to communicate before and after an emergency occurs.

"Working with RediStat, we were able to define a specialized AEN
application for the healthcare industry," said Bryan Norcross, "and being
stationed in South Florida over the years, Max and I know firsthand the
disruption and destruction that severe weather and other disasters can
inflict."

ALERT FM, a service of Global Security Systems (GSS), allows authorized
emergency management officials to send severe weather and other warnings to
specific groups of first responders, businesses and citizens. The system is
FM radio-based, so information can be distributed to a large number of
recipients in just seconds using special receivers, operating independently
of vulnerable land and cellular phone towers.

ALERT FM technology will be utilized by RediStat as a mass notification
system, so healthcare facility administrators can immediately inform an
unlimited number of personnel and family members anywhere in the world, via
user-selected devices, before, during or after an emergency.

"ALERT FM is a technology that adapts well to a variety of needs for
emergency messaging in our communities, large and small," said R. Matthew
Straeb, GSS executive vice president. "RediStat has recognized how this
system can improve communications between healthcare facilities and
families of patients, their employees and their own families, taking away
the fear and uncertainty in an emergency situation."
