Even in our increasingly connected world, there remains a gap in our ability to communicate messages in a way that avoids the clutter of email, memos and other messages. You need a solution that can communicate your time-sensitive, mission-critical information to the millions of people who you can not immediately reach with other communication methods. All this must be done in a conspicuous, secure and reliable fashion.

Emergency Alert System (EAS) powered by Direct Messenger™ is a highly scaleable and secure direct-to-computer notification system. With EAS Powered by Direct Messenger™, an authorized official can create time-sensitive, essential alerts for rapid delivery over broadband Internet and intranet networks, to a user community through the power of intelligent-pull technology. Emergency notifications are driven by one or more authorized content administrators and may include:

  • Homeland Security Alerts
  • National Security Breaches
  • Public Health Advisories
  • Warnings to Non-centralized Units

EAS Powered by Direct Messenger™ is built for speed, offering mission-critical bulletins that appear directly on users’ computer desktops whenever they are connected to the Internet.

"Emergency Alert System would let agencies bypass [Internet] service providers to communicate with any constituent who is online. The most obvious targets for government use are homeland security agencies, weather alerts and national Amber Alerts for missing children."
