Rapid Notify

Function

The Rapid Notify System is a software application used to send emergency alert notifications and updates to large groups of people.

The system is capable of simultaneously sending an alert to thousands of people over communications platforms such as email, telephone, cell phone, short message service (SMS) text message, pager, and personal digital assistant (PDA).

Purpose

Mass notification systems are typically used to issue voice or text messages alerting response personnel to the presence of an emergency as well as instructing residents of specific areas on how best to reduce their risk of harm in potentially life threatening situations.
