Twenty First Century Communications Provides Buckeye Alerts

COLUMBUS, Ohio/EWORLDWIRE/Sep. 21, 2007 --- In the wake of the
Virginia Tech tragedy, colleges and universities across America began
beefing up their safety and response measures - including emergency
notification.

The Ohio State University (OSU) and Franklin County (Ohio) have had
emergency notification systems in place since 2004. As Fall Quarter
begins, Ohio State introduces the "Buckeye Alert" system which will
send users a text message in the case of an emergency, alerting them
of the situation and giving them instructions.

The company providing the system is located right in the heart of
Columbus, Ohio. In fact, Twenty First Century Communications (TFCC)
was founded in Columbus in 1989, by Ohio State University graduate and
former professor James Kennedy.

"Twenty First Century has provided crisis notification services to
private companies and government agencies for over a decade. It is a
sign of the times that colleges must now be prepared to handle events
such as that of Virginia Tech on their campuses," says James Kennedy,
president of Twenty First Century Communications.

Twenty First Century provides high-speed, high volume alerting via
phone, cell, text-message, e-mail and fax. The company is dedicated
to critical communications, serving many public safety and emergency
management agencies, as well as the Department of Homeland Security
and the American Red Cross.
