During Hurricane Preparedness Week, organizations should look at their hurricane safety plans and understand how mass notification can help alert everyone about approaching storms.
Singlewire Software has won a 2021 Platinum Govies Award from Security today in the emergency communication category for its InformaCast Fusion with IPAWS solution.
The fact that we can use [InformaCast] for both audio alerting and visual alerting, that was great.

InformaCast provided us with a unified system with ease of management that allows us to even communicate with the baseball field and the weightlifting room wirelessly.

InformaCast played a key role in notifying our campus about the water main break and the need to use bottled water. I was able to quickly record a message and send it to the campus from my office at home. Our students commented how effective this was in letting them know what was going on.

It worked very successfully. We were able to do a complete lockdown on our whole campus within about five minutes of initiating the alert to people.
