A mass text notification system and so much more.
Mass Text, Email and Push Notification
InformaCast offers a mass text notification system that reaches people on their mobile devices. Notifications can be sent as SMS text, emails or push notifications to users with the InformaCast app. This ensures a direct connection for delivering critical information to people wherever they are, and can prevent people who may be outside your facilities from entering a potentially dangerous situation.
Mobile Panic Button
System administrators can create mobile panic buttons within the InformaCast app web interface. These buttons then appear within the InformaCast app on designated end-users’ phones. When a user activates a button, they receive instructions and are able to connect with safety teams via a phone call directly from the app.
Administrators are notified when someone activates the button and can see the user’s location through the app and send follow-up messages. The event is tracked so information can be relayed to first responders, so they know the situation, where to go, and who is involved.
Visitor Notification
Keep people informed even if they are not a part of your organization. Using InformaCast, visitors can register to receive notifications using a web browser or by texting a hashtag to a phone number (e.g. text #visitoralerts to XXX-XXX-XXXX). This information can be sent out ahead of an event, posted around your facility, or given to contractors or temp workers as part of their onboarding. Enrollment can be set to expire after a certain period of time, so people only receive alerts while they are visiting.
Real-time Responses
Notifications can be sent to users that ask for a response. This could be a message asking people to respond if they are safe or need assistance or whether or not they have successfully evacuated a building. Responses can be viewed in real time as they come in via the InformaCast mobile app, providing insights into the impact of a situation and the effectiveness of your organization’s response.
Complete Incident Management
You can’t be tied to a computer during an emergency. From the InformaCast mobile app, designated administrators create notifications, launch preconfigured scenarios, and manage incidents from start to finish. Provide all the capabilities your team needs to share information, see valuable real-time insights, and coordinate a response from any mobile device.
