What’s a Mass Notification System?

A mass notification system is a communication platform that allows organizations to send alerts and important updates to large groups of people at once. These alerts can be delivered through multiple channels, such as SMS text messages, emails, and phone calls.

Organizations use mass notification systems to quickly share information before, during, or after a critical event. These alerts often include instructions or updates to help people stay safe and make informed decisions.

Mass notification systems are commonly used during:

Natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes)
Security threats (e.g., active shooter, cyberattacks)
IT outages or system failures
Health emergencies (e.g., pandemics)
Weather-related closures or delays
City or campus-wide announcements

The main goal of a mass notification system is to ensure reliable, fast, and wide-reaching communication during emergencies or urgent situations.
