How to Mass Text Message Alert in Emergency Response - an ideal solution for students Print E-mail
Written by Glenn Letham (SymbianOne)   
Tuesday, 17 April 2007
With the recent massacre at Virginia Tech, many in the media are asking the question, "why was there no mass notification or shut-down of the campus after 2 hours"? Here's just one mobile SMS solution that could be used in emergency situations.

OmniAlert specializes in mass communications for sending time-sensitive information to large groups of people.

Mass Communication defined - A selective mass communication system is defined as a platform to deliver a message to an entire audience by all means necessary with one click of a button

How it Works:

Omnilert Network enables clients to send urgent messages to multiple devices of subscribers within an entire community or groups of the community to communicate important information. The web-based service requires no additional hardware or software, is extremely easy-to-use, and is completely self-administered by each client and their subscribers.

The service can instantly and simultaneously send alerts to a subscriber's:

  • Mobile phone (via SMS text message)
  • Traditional wired phone
  • Satellite phone
  • Blackberry
  • Smart phone
  • Wireless PDA
  • Pager
  • E-mail account
  • Web page (via our Bulletin Board feature)
  • Personal portals (MyYahoo, Google or AOL page)
  • RSS Readers

Omnilert Applications:
Omnilert is ideal for organizations responsible for the well being of citizens, employees, students, athletes, volunteers, partners, first responders and others.

It's difficult to question weather such a solution could have prevented the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech University, however, given the level of pentration of cell phone usage such a solution does indeed need to be considered in the future.

For more information about OmniAlert see http://www.omnilert.com

Are you aware of another form of mobile mass communication or alert. Please share details with us at SymbianOne.
