ATHENS, GEORGIA – On July 10, 2019, the Georgia Telecommunicator Emergency Response Taskforce (TERT) launched a new web portal that will help manage participating agencies, new member applications, team assignments, training, certifications, and more.
The new portal, built by Morris Enterprises on the QuickBase platform allows agencies and potential members an easy, user-friendly application and approval process. Georgia is proud to be the third state in the Nation to implement this software. “We are excited to provide the TERT portal along with our other applications designed for the public safety communications industry,” said Tyrell Morris, CEO of Morris Enterprises. “This really helps our nation’s finest telecommunicators to execute their mission”.
Using the portal, Emergency Communications Centers (ECCs) in Georgia can apply to join the roster of participating TERT agencies. Telecommunicators can then use the portal to submit applications, which are electronically delivered to their department director for approval.
“This portal is an essential piece to the advancement of our state TERT program,” said Jonathan Jones, Deputy State TERT Coordinator. “We are able to streamline and simplify many processes vital to managing our teams using this database.”
While the portal is now fully functional, leadership for the state’s TERT program intends to add additional features in the future. The portal can be accessed at www.gatert.org.
About TERT: A Telecommunicator Emergency Response Taskforce (TERT) is composed of professional public safety emergency communications personnel supported by a cadre of logistical and administrative staff designed to provide support to emergency communications and/or public safety answering points during or after a disaster or other events.
