Glendale, Calif. --[EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION NEWS]-- December 13, 2004 - National Notification Network (3n), a provider of mass notification systems, announced today that Earthlink (Nasdaq: ELNK), one of the nation's leading Internet service providers, is using the 3n Mass Notification System to deliver important information to employees in emergency situations.

Earthlink uses the 3n system for several groups within various departments of the company.

The 3n system rapidly disseminated a message containing news of the hurricane and action instructions to more than 126 employees via their delivery preference and then generated a report that confirmed receipt of the information.

"Regular use of the system in many different capacities has enabled Earthlink to realize the added benefits of having automated communication links available anytime across departments. The system was particularly useful during the hurricane as it rapidly and reliably communicated vital information to our employees at a moment's notice," said Karen Abrams, director of operations risk management, Earthlink.

Based on instructions from Earthlink administrators, 3n uploads groups of contacts and notifies them of any situation requiring quick and secure dissemination of information. The message is relayed to modes of communication used by Earthlink recipients, including phone (home, work, cell), email, pager, fax and wireless devices such as laptops, PDAs and BlackBerries®.

National Notification Network Provides System to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Emergency Notification System to be Used During Excavation of Army Chemical Site in Washington DC

Glendale, Calif. --[EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION NEWS]-- October 25, 2004 - National Notification Network (3n), a provider of mass notification systems, announced today that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has contracted the company to provide an emergency notification system for use during an excavation project in Washington, DC to remove potential World War I-era chemical warfare materials.

In 2003, one glass bottle containing Lewisite, a blistering agent tested by the Army from 1917-1920, was discovered at the site. As a result, the Corps of Engineers returned to the site in June using extra engineering controls and safety measures to protect the public from potential release. The project is scheduled to take 10-12 months to complete.

In the event of an emergency at the site, the Corps will use the 3n system in tandem with an onsite siren to notify residents and American University personnel living or working within 194 feet of the site that they should immediately shelter-in-place. The 3n system will also be used to notify key Department of the Army personnel, the Washington, DC City Council, emergency responders and emergency management personnel. In an emergency, the 3n system will distribute a pre-recorded voice message and pre-prepared text message to all phone numbers and email addresses in its database. The messages will instruct residents to stay indoors to minimize their potential exposure, in addition to instructing the appropriate agencies that their emergency response procedures should be initiated.

GLENDALE, Calif. --[EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION NEWS]-- September 13, 2004 - National Notification Network (3n), a provider of mass notification systems, today announced that the Buena Vida Estates Retirement Community has implemented and is utilizing the company's flagship product. The Melbourne, Florida retirement community used the system to alert its residents of the imminent approach of Hurricane Charley in August.

Using delivery preferences requested by Buena Vida residents, the 3n system rapidly disseminated messages containing news of the hurricane and action instructions to all 150 homeowners. All messages were tracked and delivered, and more than 75 percent of the residents confirmed receipt using their phones' touch-tone systems.

Though residents ultimately were not affected by the hurricane, having a tool in place for safe, quick evacuations was a relief for Ralph Bishop, the community's executive director. "The 3n system is delivering in our time of need. It quickly and efficiently communicates potentially life-saving information. We are relieved to have a reliable system to assist us during emergencies," he said.

Bishop has upgraded his package after only a few months of use because of the system's demonstrated value. "We have been using the 3n system more than we originally anticipated, especially for urgent messages in non-emergency situations, including alarm testing, electricity loss after storms and other routine issues such as voting," he said.
