If your mass notification systems are in separate silos, chances are you're wasting time delivering a critical safety information to all of your people.
Purchasing and implementing a mass notification system requires buy-in from multiple departments to ensure everyone has a stake in safety planning for an organization.
Testing twice a year and only reaching people through one channel can lead to big headaches when it comes to mass notification. Learn why in this post.
Creating a testing plan that works in conjunction with emergency communication strategies helps build familiarity throughout organizations. This can assist in avoiding costly mistakes.
With a limited number of students, faculty and staff on campus during this time, it may not make sense to have the same emergency notification plan as the rest of the year.
I like using it, because it’s a simple product to use. You can see behind it that it is a quality product; professionally-built and well-designed.

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.

The fact that we can use [InformaCast] for both audio alerting and visual alerting, that was great.

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.

Bells and paging are one of the most important things for schools... in my opinion, it’s still the most critical, and so choosing the right system and the right partner is very important. The Singlewire system has fit the bill for us.
