ENERGEX launched its new mobile website today in conjunction with the start of the 2011/12 storm season.
The mobile website will enable South East Queenslanders to access general and emergency information from their mobile phones via a mobile-specific website.
The website, specially designed to provide easy access, visibility and usability, includes features such as click-to-call and click-to-email functionality for speed of contact, which will be particularly useful during emergencies.
A weather widget also features a search-driven section for local area weather updates while an emergency banner has been incorporated to alert customers to severe weather events.
ENERGEX Chief Executive Officer Terry Effeney said the mobile website would allow customers and the community the ability to access important information from smartphones – anywhere, anytime.
“This great tool will enable ENERGEX to continue its collective responsibility to stay in touch with the community, particularly during times of heightened urgency.”
“Through the mobile website, customers are able to stay abreast of important information around severe weather events or more common, every-day events such as planned and unplanned power outages,” Mr Effeney said.
Mr Effeney also noted that the mobile website would assist as an additional vehicle in promoting its safety-first messages to the community.
