In an emergency, is an e-mail message enough to notify people of what’s happening so they can take shelter, evacuate or take evasive action? Eckerd College’s AlertFind system allows the school to send custom on-the-fly alerts instantly to its 2,200 students, faculty and staff members during any emergency. Other technologies, such as emergency notification systems that can push out critical informational messages to cell phones, landline phones, e-mails and other devices, are being used at other schools and companies across the nation.”]
