OUR STORY

A better way to get the word out

We saw a gap in critical communications during emergencies. The usual playbook of relying on social media and local news was not working since too many people were left out.

National alert systems meant to address this were still falling short. People in areas without reliable access to internet and wireless services were still being left in the dark. Same for people still using landline phones or travelling and away from home.

Desperate to fix this, emergency managers and communications teams are trying new ways to reach people, but it's manual and clunky stretching them too thin and taking too much time.

What emergency managers and communications teams really want is one button to push to reach everyone everywhere at once in a format that works best for people including SMS, email, phone calls, mobile apps, social media and websites.

That's why we built Alertable.
