Text Messages
Text messages can be used for immediate actions like snow storms, flood alerts, tornados, and campus intruders to get your emergency notifications out and have people that need help have an easy way to get back to you. Since this is the preferred method of many people, having this in your pack is critical to any success.
Emails
Emails are a great way of explaining less time critical alerts or problems with more explanation. It might be something like an update on a water main break or a far off hurricane. These can be combined with our other mass notification alerts such as text messages to make sure everyone gets the news quickly.
Phone Calls
Phone messages are a great feel-good response when people want to hear your Provost's confidence that you've got the situation under control.
People listening to the messages can make responses and have them forwarded to a member of your staff.
Two-way Communication
Ensure your campus has an easy way for students to respond to emergency alerts so they get help in real time while communicating with emergency responders.
All of the above
Do each of these and more with SmartHowl, the only emergency alert system designed for colleges and universities.
Be ready to face any crisis threatening your institution so it's dealt with before anyone gets hurt.
