When sirens are ringing and a voice on the PA system tells people to evacuate, you can turn all the computer screens into evacuation maps.
You can do this by:
- Preparing messages in advance using a pre-defined template for a specific audience and have them ready to go with a single click when you need them (either via desktop or by using a mobile app).
- ·Using AI integration to automatically send emergency alerts when existing emergency notification services or systems detect an emergency – this removes the need for a person to have to publish an alert.
