In case you don't know, mass notification empowers one person to communicate with thousands of people simultaneously with just one call or text message.
MIR3's new product, inCampusAlert™, which is based on the company's enterprise-grade technology, bridges the gap between all standard forms of communication to enable high-speed two-way communications to tens of thousands of users and devices. All modalities are supported, including email, wireless pager, PDA, text messaging, landline, mobile phone, satellite phone, TDD/TTY, fax and two-way SMS. MIR3's notification capabilities can also be used for routine high-volume messaging and all-purpose broadcasting, such as administrative notices to employees, messages for coordinating Staffing and schedules, and delivering important, auditable information to customers.Indeed, this is good news to all concerned students, parents, and school authorities. It will be very favorable if all big universities utilize this communication system.

Its a good idea but obvious enough. The problem as we found in the UK - once an incident does happen, the airwaves are near full anyway (due mostly to emergency services communications), so sending on mass a text message to every phone could further impact on the problem.

Hi, I work for another emergency notification service ( http://www.sendwordnow.com/
) company called Send Word Now, and I completely agree that colleges all over the US are becoming more aware that an emergency notification solution is absolutely essential for any school. Sadly, the tragedy at Virginia Tech had to be the impetus for this, but at least in the future schools will be better prepared to deal with a crisis like this, as well as other issues such as hurricanes and school closures. Send Word Now has some leading universities as clients, and I think very soon emergency notification services will be ubiquitous across all colleges.
