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.

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.
