Mass Notification

A Mass Notification System (MNS) is a multi-modal (multiple format) platform that broadcasts non-fire infromation to a large group of people. Groups of people can be, for example: college/university staff and students, employees in a multi-building or multi-site environment, residents of a community, and so forth. Effective MNS’ tend to broadcast the message in multiple formats (multi-modal). Though there are many variations, typically, messages are sent via email, text, telephone call and sometimes posts to social media. Messages sent via MNS’ are generally messages that contain critical messages with important information.
