Natural Disaster Warning Systems

When severe weather strikes, your organization must be prepared to reach everyone in your facility — indoors, outdoors, or even offsite — with consistent and timely notifications. As a leader in Unified Mass Notification, Alertus offers flexible, modular solutions for natural disaster alerting for all geographies and threat types, including tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, blizzards, or wildfires.

Whether you are looking to outfit your entire facility with effective notification or fill in gaps by purchasing alerting products such as tornado sirens or storm sirens, Alertus delivers the tools to unify your notification investment under a single, easy-to-use platform.

Alertus’ Natural Disaster Warning Systems solutions offer a combination of audible and visual devices, along with personal notification, to quickly notify all personnel within seconds of a weather incident.

Audible notification is a crucial severe weather mass notification method to implement in your organization. Alertus offers two key audio alerting benefits for your mass notification strategy. We can leverage your existing IP infrastructure to deliver audible alerts over integrated devices, and we enhance message intelligibility and automation using the industry’s most advanced Text-to-Speech technology.

Audible alerting devices like fire alarms, overhead PAs, and sirens are essential components of a mass notification system, especially when it comes to severe weather alerts. However, using only audible notifications can leave large segments of your organization’s population in the dark about event details, such as how to respond during an emergency. Visual notification also helps overcome challenges such as loud environments and ensures you reach those with auditory impairments. 

Compliant with many mass notification codes and mandates, including UFC, ADA, and NFPA 72, the Alertus System’s audible and visual notification methods can help your organization achieve effective alerting in the face of severe weather or a natural disaster. 

With so much technology reliant on the internet and network connectivity, Alertus lets you use your IP network to deliver emergency communications, such as tornado warnings, blizzard warnings, or dry ice hazards, to connected devices. From desktop computers and laptops to VoIP phones and mobile devices, Alertus network-based alerting will ensure you reach everyone, every time. 

When severe weather threats arise, you don’t want to lose valuable time deploying multiple disparate notification systems. With true, single-point activation, Alertus simplifies and expedites your alerting process using pre-set alerts and profiles to target the right people with the right message.

Alertus allows you to customize your organization’s system activation to fit your unique needs. From panic buttons to mobile activation, your alerts are just one touch away.
