KEY PROBLEM

Why Regional Governments Struggle with Multi-Jurisdiction Emergency Alerting

Regional governments are responsible for coordinating alerts across multiple municipalities, agencies, and departments, yet they have to rely on disconnected systems and manual workflows. Without a unified emergency alerting system for regional government, alerts are often delayed, duplicated, or inconsistent, making it difficult to communicate clearly and reach every community when time is critical.

Slow or Manual Alerting

Outdated workflows and manual alerting, like a phone tree and Email, can delay alerts when seconds matter most.

Municipality Expectations

Local municipalities or governments often expect the region to take the lead in emergency alerting and rely on solutions the region can offer them. Many districts are unable to meet these expectations.

Reliance on Province

Many regional districts depend on the province for Alert Ready access for both local and regional alerts, reducing autonomy and flexibility for area-specific communication.

Multi-Jurisdictional

Empower member municipalities and different departments to issue their own alerts within a unified regional system, ensuring flexibility and consistency across the region.

Multi-Channel

Deliver alerts instantly through mobile apps, SMS, voice calls, email, websites, and social media to reach every resident or staff member, regardless of location or device.

Unified Regional Solution

Manage both public and internal alerts across all municipalities and agencies from one secure, easy-to-use solution, improving coordination and response time.

PROBLEM

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) needed a reliable mass notification system to issue regional alerts for wildfires, floods, and other public safety emergencies. Initially planning to implement later in the year, escalating wildfire threats accelerated their need for a rapid solution. Their existing communication methods, including website updates, media posts, and phone trees, were too slow and inconsistent across jurisdictions.

SOLUTION

CSRD selected Alertable after hearing strong recommendations from other emergency management and IT professionals. Alertable’s proven reputation and rapid deployment capabilities allowed CSRD to go live almost immediately. The system provided an integrated, multi-channel alerting platform enabling the regional district to issue both local and regional alerts in real time across app, SMS, email, voice, and web.

IMPACT

With Alertable, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) successfully sent evacuation orders and emergency alerts throughout the wildfire season, reaching residents faster and more consistently than ever before. The regional district continues to rely on Alertable as its unified platform for multi-jurisdiction emergency communications, helping keep communities across the region safe, informed, and connected.
