Mass Notification for Public Safety

Police, fire fighters and emergency management personnel have a unique responsibility to protect the public under threat. How are these professionals using Intelligent Notification to respond quickly when danger threatens?

Here are just a few examples of uses for notification in transportation and logistics:

• • A suspect has barricaded himself in a retail store and may be holding hostages; SWAT teams must be notified and mobilized for immediate response
•  
• • A wildfire is rapidly approaching a densely populated residential area; fire fighters must be called and residents must be evacuated
•  
• • An emergency requires at least six extra employees and volunteers to respond to an incident location; many responders have just left for lunch
•  
• • An earthquake strikes; authorized city leaders need to alert first responders and, separately check in and update municipal employees at all locations
•  
• • A company needs extra workers. By integrating notification with schedules, they notify a group or person at a time until positions are filled
•  
• • Citizen contact data and preferences change frequently; Account Portal lets them edit their own information and subscribe to alerts

How Intelligent Notification works in public safety

Effective notification involves more than just sending a one-way alert. You must be able to quickly decide which authorities, responders and citizens need to know what, and your message must be adapted as information arrives. Intelligent Notification technology handles this complex task, rapidly launching a message to groups of any size, whether in one location or spread all over the world. It uses MIR3 data management expertise and tools to pull information from various contact databases to make sure you’re always using the latest contact information.

Intelligent Notification is used in public safety to protect lives and resources, for disaster recovery, emergency alerting, and to keep public systems up and running.
