RapidCast: For Neighborhood and Community Watch Organizations; Cities; and Emergency Management Agencies
If inclement weather conditions or power outages suddenly silenced the broadcast media in the homes of your community's residents, how would you get notification warnings to them? Phone lines might be down, power off for hours or days, what do you do to ensure the safety of their lives?
RapidCast provides your community with the safety solutions it needs. Utilizing the resident's cell phones you can instantly send voice and text messages to them, providing the notifications they need to know now.
Alert your community of any emergency or important event that could impact their health, safety, well-being or way of life:

Severe Weather Alerts
Send rapid alerts within moments
You can instantly send out alerts from your office or a remote location, using your home, work or cell phone or through a web-connected computer.
Target resident distribution
Send messages to everyone or sort distribution by geographic areas or resident types (such as apartment complexes, mobile home communities, nursing homes, businesses and plants, childcare facilities and schools).
