Thanks Anne. "Tannoy announcement" might not contain info on exactly who is being called and what they are being told/asked to do, but it seems the safest option in my UK English text.

First Aid Nursing Yeomanry:
44,000 calls were received into the Casualty Bureau during the7/7 – 34,000 on the first day - and within 27 minutes of mobilisation, 13 FANY were on duty at Bishopsgate Police Station manning the phones.

West Lothian College definition of emergency services:
Emergency Services - The fire brigade, the police, and the ambulance service collectively, especially when mobilised to deal with emergencies.

There is also training in radio communications, as radios are used by members at many duties in order to help speed up communications, and better mobilise members and equipment in response to incidents.

P.S. I like Kitty's suggestion in the discussion too. These examples are just to show use of "mobilisation" in this context.

Explanation:
Either that or the "evacuation announcement" made over the pager system -- or in the case of summoning ERTs/doctors etc. to a location, paging their pagers/beepers or simply paging them over the intercom.

Call it a "pager announcement" if you want.
It's really that simple.
