Achieving Centralized Multimodal Emergency Notifications: Best Practices at Virginia Commonwealth University

Available as a Replay

Many experts believe there is no one magic solution to communicate to everyone in a crisis. They recommend having a mass text messaging system, an auto phone dialer, LED signs, loudspeakers, digital signage, web page postings, email distributions lists, alert beacons, and more. Now imagine the speed, effectiveness and convenience of all of these communication channels and others being controlled by ONE interface. Virginia Commonwealth University will explain how to achieve this new paradigm in mass communications. In this free 45-minute webinar, you will learn:

  • All the communication channels possible for emergency communication
  • Why having separate stove pipes (i.e. departments) responsible for each is dangerous
  • How to tie all disparate systems into one centralized interface
  • How to maximize this new paradigm
  • Question & Answer session with attendees to follow
