The ability to communicate quickly and effectively with the public is a critical need. But relying on one mode of communication can mean a loss of time and control.

We give government agencies the ability to notify and update their constituents within minutes of time-sensitive situations. You’ll communicate with concise, timely information to help contain rumors, control media spin and maintain safety while providing information and reassurance to residents, businesses and media.

Meet the information needs of your community by leveraging the power of ongoing, proactive communication. Whether you are responding to a time-sensitive situation, or simply informing your community about a routine event, the power of a well-known voice conveys assurance and authority.

You’ll have the ability to keep stakeholders informed about day-to-day events that make a big difference in their lives. And keep them informed on everything from health advisories and power outages to town hall meetings.

In any situation where coordinated communication is required, it’s critical that team members and staff have common operating procedures. Of course, directing efforts across multiple disparate departments is no easy task. We can help you synch responses to both time-sensitive and routine situations by giving team members the details of any current situation, recalling off-duty staff, calling up volunteers, aligning efforts and duties, requesting mutual assistance from neighboring jurisdictions and sending text messages when voice-communications are impacted.

The ability to reach your entire community is vital, but the ability to stay within budget is every bit as crucial.

Our predictable cost structure won’t cause unexpected spikes in spending. There is no hardware, software, or additional phone lines required on your end. Multiple departments can also share use of the service. Costs can be saved through effective utility bill reminders that reduce costs associated with turning off services. Or mobilizing the community to assist in searching for missing children and lost seniors.
