When unexpected risks disrupt the health and safety of the public, fast, reliable mass notification systems for local governments are essential. Without them, residents miss critical alerts that protect public health. For example, imagine a scenario like this: A water main break occurs in Waltham at 6:13 am, it took the public works team less than ten minutes to assess the damage and determine that the water is not safe to drink. However, most residents didn’t find out until hours later.
