Emergency Notification Software

Make call trees a thing of the past. Emergency Notification Systems (ENS) take a message that is either pre-written or recorded/written at time of event, and distribute it to up to thousands of people using communications devices such as cell phones, BlackBerrys, email, etc. Some systems can elicit responses, track message receipt and provide live audit reports. Emergency notification tools take the stress out of communicating during a crisis, making sure your message gets out to the maximum number of people in the shortest amount of time.
