From Crisis to Innovation: Modernizing Alerts
Our journey began with a harrowing experience during a devastating flood in Alberta, Canada. This catastrophic event forced many, including our founders, to evacuate their homes. Amidst the chaos, it became glaringly clear that traditional communication methods like TV and radio were inadequate for timely and effective emergency alerts.
In the wake of this disaster, we partnered with the Alberta Government to pioneer Canada's first provincial direct-to-smartphone emergency alerts. This breakthrough innovation quickly caught the attention of other provincial and territorial emergency management agencies, as well as companies and schools grappling with similar communication challenges.
Throughout this process, we discovered a profound need among Emergency Managers across various industries: a simple, efficient way to reach everyone instantly and directly via smartphones, traditional phones, tablets, and computers. This realization was the catalyst for creating Alertable, our mass notification solution designed to meet Canada's diverse communication needs.
Today, Alertable stands as Canada's only commercial solution trusted by provincial emergency management agencies for official use in provincial alerting programs. We have meticulously engineered Alertable to deliver the power and reliability required for inclusion in a provincial alerting program, while remaining cost-effective for local and regional use.
Alertable has now become the preferred choice for local, regional, and provincial governments, companies, and schools across Canada, ensuring that critical information reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.
Join us on this journey of innovation and safety. Stay connected, stay informed, and trust Alertable to be your reliable partner in emergency communication.
Stay Aware & Plan Ahead
We co-write open alert standards to benefit all
Our co-founder and CTO, Jacob Westfall, is a co-editor of international standards and guidelines for emergency alerts including the Canadian Profile of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Common Look & Feel (CLF) guidelines used in Canada.
Because we know the standards personally, we ensure that we meet or exceed all of them. You have this level of knowledge, expertise and insight available to you when you use our mass notification software, Alertable.
