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, flash floods, 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.
Flash Flood Solutions
Immediate and widespread communication is critical during a flash flood event. Alertus provides comprehensive and innovative solutions to alert your community the moment warnings are issued.
The Alertus System automatically pushes real-time, zip-code-specific flash flood warnings directly from authoritative sources like the National Weather Service. This critical information can reach your entire population through multiple devices, including outdoor warning systems, the Alert Beacon®, desktop notifications, and mobile devices. This multi-layered approach ensures people receive vital alerts quickly, even amidst power outages or network disruptions.
Advanced outdoor warning
Alertus specializes in powerful outdoor warning solutions including:
High Power Speaker Arrays (HPSA): Permanently installed, these robust systems provide expansive outdoor notification coverage, ensuring clear, intelligible alerts across large areas.
Mobile High Power Speaker Arrays (MHPSA): For flexible and seasonal deployment, mobile speaker arrays can be rapidly transported and set up in vulnerable areas. These systems are ideal for temporary events, seasonal flood zones, or expanding coverage as needed.
Both fixed and mobile speaker arrays feature advanced text-to-speech technology, allowing for clear, dynamic messaging. They can also seamlessly integrate with your existing giant voice systems, enhancing your current infrastructure.
INTEGRATED WITH IPAWS FOR MAXIMUM REACH
Alertus proudly integrates with FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), allowing authorized entities — including federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial public safety agencies — to send alerts through the national public alert and warning system. This significantly expands alerting reach to the broader public via various communication channels, including Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) to mobile phones and the Emergency Alert System (EAS) over radio and television.
Audible Solutions
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-Visual Solutions
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.
Network-Based Solutions
Leverage 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.
One-Step Activation Solutions
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.
