AlertNow Rapid Communication Service is now available to middle schools throughout Pennsylvania—helping build stronger relationships by enhancing:

• Parental and community involvement

• Student accountability

• Emergency notification and awareness

• Communication to non-English speaking communities in their native language

• School safety preparation

 

Rapid, reliable communication during a crisis is critical. A phone tree is unreliable, time consuming and requires substantial staff time and resources. The AlertNow option from InnerLink and TeamPrepared provides an instant, proven communications solution to notify parents and staff within minutes.

Emergency calls are sent through reliable communication networks that carry only emergency communications.

 

Messages broadcast with TeamPrepared’s AlertNow function on these networks are recognized as emergency messages and are delivered before any other local communications. This is the industry’s ONLY rapid communication service that displays your school’s phone number on caller IDs for routine calls, yet distinguishes emergency messages with “411” on caller IDs.

 

TeamPrepared’s AlertNow feature requires no additional hardware, software or phone lines. This is a complete solution with tremendous emphasis on the network infrastructure, redundancy, and security, with secure data centers located in three separate facilities across the US. You can count on market-leading reliability, efficiency and security with the AlertNow feature from InnerLink’s TeamPrepared school safety solution.

 

How can AlertNow help improve communication?

 

Messaging

Create custom messages that are unique to each situation, recorded in the voice of a school administrator from any telephone, or from a computer with Internet access. Create messages in either voice or text--delivered at a rate of thousands of calls per minute.

 

Delivery

AlertNow messages can be delivered to any group of students or staff. All customers have unlimited groups that are created from existing data in the student information system and imported to AlertNow. Messages can be sent immediately or scheduled for any future date or time.

 

Reporting

Graphical reports are available for every broadcast that is delivered. Every report has drill down features that will display details including up to 15 different report codes about the delivery results. There are reports that measure school use, attendance, calls to each student, and call results.

 

Language Translation

Multilingual messaging is important in many schools today. AlertNow provides the capability to translate text to text or text to voice and delivers the message in the language of the recipient.
