Public Alerts & Notification Systems

Service Description

Learn how municipalities can use alerting tools and notification systems to keep residents informed during emergencies. Timely, reliable alerts are essential for keeping communities safe during fast‑moving emergencies. This session explores how municipalities can choose, implement, and manage public alerting and notification systems that reach residents quickly and effectively. We’ll cover the strengths and limitations of common tools — from text alerts and mobile apps to sirens, social media, and community‑based channels — and discuss how to build clear messaging that prompts action without causing confusion. Whether your municipality is adopting a new system or improving an existing one, this webinar offers practical guidance for creating an alerting strategy that fits your community’s size, technology access, and communication needs.
