What’s an Emergency Mass Notification System?

An emergency mass notification system (EMNS) sends simultaneous alerts to groups and individuals in times of crisis. Critical events include malicious activities, natural disasters, pandemics and more. An EMNS can distribute messages to SMS, email and/or voice.

Mass notification services perfect crisis management plans. They ensure that employees, emergency responders and the general public receive immediate notice of a crisis. Systems are adopted and used to mitigate the impact of emergency events.

Benefits of an Emergency Mass Notification System

Emergency notification solutions broadcast messages to the right people at the right time. Desired recipients are notified before, during and following the major event. Instant information sharing helps recipients stay safe, aware and prepared during a disaster.

Emergency mass notification systems:

Eliminate human error by automating crisis communications
Allow organizations to compose a critical message with instructions
Confirm that critical messages are sent, delivered and acknowledged
Deliver messages to multiple channels
Enhance the effectiveness of business continuity programs

Emergency Management Process

Five Steps You Need to Overcome a Crisis!

Emergency Mass Notification System

The emergency management process is a five-step procedure. It is designed to mitigate the impact of an event through mass communications and disaster recovery training. The process, from start to finish, includes prevention, preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. All phases are crucial in developing an effective crisis management program for any emergency.

The five phases of the emergency management process are discussed below:

Emergency Mass Notification System

Step 1: Prevention

Concrete plans are created, ensuring that appropriate processes are in place for an emergency. Organizations invest in an emergency mass notification system to broadcast messages to several contacts. Contacts may include staff, internal departments and/or the general public.

Step 2: Preparedness

Organizations enforce staff training, so personnel know what to do during an emergency. The mass notification solution is implemented, and personnel receive training to effectively use the technology.

Step 3: Response

Response requires the use of emergency preparedness tools, such as mass notification systems. Mass messaging helps organizations connect and coordinate with recipients promptly. Real-time instructions, delivered by mass alerting systems, must be followed during emergencies. This ensures that recipients take appropriate action during a crisis.

Business continuity plans must be put into practice. Personnel must comply with the expectations set by plans, to ensure the safety of all persons affected by the critical event.

Step 4: Recovery

Organizations work diligently to restore day-to-day operations and “get back to normal.” Recovery is more efficient if proper communication systems and processes were used during the crisis. Successful disaster recovery may be attributed to an effective business continuity plan.

Step 5: Mitigation

Organizations must review how they performed before, during and following the crisis. Post-event changes are made to enhance disaster communications and emergency management programs. This phase determines how to ensure public or personnel safety in future emergencies.
