Emergency Notification System
Emergency Notification Systems Overview
What is an Emergency Notification System?
Emergency Notification Systems are used to send out mass alerts as part of an emergency communication plan. These alerts may be sent via text message, email, or phone, or broadcast via speakers/sirens or television.In some cases the notifications are automatically triggered by warning events, such as extreme weather. In other cases, users can send out notifications with one click, quickly deploying a pre-configured message to a network of citizens, members, or subscribers.
Emergency notification systems, also called mass notification software, or emergency alert/broadcast software, allows organizations to set up the triggers and alerts (often requiring integrations to other systems), as well as deliver the messages to recipients.
Speed and reliability are crucial factors for these kinds of tools, since notifications send through them are usually urgent matters of public safety and/or business-critical systems failure.
