What is an Emergency SMS Alert System?

An emergency SMS alert system is software that allows you to send time-sensitive text notifications to the phone numbers of large groups of people at once. These people often make up a specific contact list.

Why Do Businesses and Organizations Need Emergency Alerts?

Businesses and organizations can benefit from emergency alerts because they ensure employee safety, operational continuity, and a coordinated crisis management response. Because these messages are sent to mobile phones, your people will receive them regardless of what type of mobile device they have or where they are located. In today’s landscape, texts are also quicker and more effective than automated phone calls.

Effective Messaging & Audience Targeting

When every second counts, emergency SMS alerts allow you to push the right message to the right audience. For example, perhaps a storm will be a local emergency in a specific geographic area but not another in a different location. Emergency SMS alerts allow you to send these critical weather updates to the affected area.

Crisis Management & Response Coordination

Emergency SMS alerts can help your organization mitigate the effects of the emergency, mobilize a coordinated response, and monitor threats to ensure organized action. 

Real-Time Communication & Insights

Emergency text messages allow you to reach your people in real-time, providing valuable information. With two-way communication, you can gain real-time insights from your people and enhance organizational decision-making.

Who Benefits from Emergency Text Alerts

Crisis & Emergency Mass Notification

When a crisis occurs, notify your employees quickly about critical company messages, office closures, and other crisis communications.

Severe Weather & Natural Disasters

Weather emergencies can be deadly, but text alerts can notify your audience of safety risks, such as National Weather Service watches and warnings, and when to seek shelter.

Security Threats & Office Safety

Emergency texts can help protect your people from active shooter, workplace violence, facility issues, or other workplace safety hazards.
