With most people carrying smart phones and tablets with them at all times, many organizations incorporated these devices into their emergency communications efforts as a means to reach people in the event of a crisis. Alertus’ mobile phone apps offer any organization enhanced personal notification between authorized dispatchers and end users. Whether recipients are in hard-to-reach locations or dispatchers need to activate their emergency notification system remotely, the Alertus App Suite -- Alertus Recipient App and Alertus Activator App -- are loaded with features and allow for everyone to engage with the Alertus Emergency Notification System. Click here to watch a demo.

The Alertus Recipient App allows end users to not only receive push notifications but to quickly send geo-tagged incident reports to emergency management personnel via the panic button feature. Features include:
