What is an Emergency Notification System?
Emergency Notification Systems are used to send out mass alerts as part of an emergency communication plan. These alerts may be sent via text message, email, or phone, or broadcast via speakers/sirens or television.
In some cases, the notifications are automatically triggered by warning events, such as extreme weather. In other cases, users can send out notifications with one click, quickly deploying a pre-configured message to a network of citizens, members, or subscribers.
Emergency notification systems, also called mass notification software, or emergency alert/broadcast software, allows organizations to set up the triggers and alerts (often requiring integrations to other systems), as well as deliver the messages to recipients.
Speed and reliability are crucial factors for these kinds of tools, since notifications send through them are usually urgent matters of public safety and/or business-critical systems failure.

Emergency Notification System Comparison
When comparing Emergency Notification Systems, consider the following factors:
- Notification Channels: Users will have different preferences for how they want to receive notifications. You have the option to choose between using a smartphone app, text messages, push notifications, and emails.
- Speed: You will want to choose an Emergency Notification System that quickly gets the information to all of your personnel. Text messages may not arrive as quickly as push notifications or in-app alerts.
- Inbound messages: Some vendors offer two-way communication that allows your personnel to send updates during the emergency situation.
- Message type: Vendors such as Text-em-All offer mass texting services that enable users to notify their customers about important events or product-related information that may be relevant to them. Though similar to SMS Marketing, these messages are not typically associated with a wider sales or marketing campaign and are not intended to promote the purchase of products and services.
Emergency Notification System Price
Vendors may charge a one-time licensing fee or use a subscription plan (paid either monthly or annually). The subscription plans often have limits on the number of recipients. You should contact the vendor directly to schedule a demo or receive specific pricing for your business.
