SquareLoop ushers in the next generation of alerting technology with its Mobile Alert Network. Emergency managers can now geographically target messages to citizens, increasing the relevancy of every mobile alert sent and the chances of the message being acted upon. Imagine being able to send an evacuation message to people downwind of a chemical spill and shelter-in-place messages to those upwind and out of danger. The location-based messaging system can also deliver messages to emergency personnel warning them of potential hazards, updated orders, or information about ongoing activities in their area.

With the Mobile Alert Network you can:

• Support needs-based evacuation - target evacuation messages to danger zones and shelter-in-place instructions to safe areas
• Notify only subscribers in the vicinity of a traffic accident about delays
• Warn people in the path of a natural disaster such as severe weather or fire
• Alert people who have been in the vicinity of a biological agent release - even if that release occurred several days in the past
• Deliver messages to people who are near the scene of a crime to identify potential witnesses

Save lives and increase the public's confidence during emergency situations

The technology uses existing infrastructure so there is no need for expensive equipment purchases. It is easy to use and can be integrated into existing incident management systems or used independently.

Features

Geographic Targeting - The Mobile Alert Network allows emergency managers to target messages based on subscribers actual location. Because of this geographic targeting, citizens only need to subscribe to one system to receive messages coast-to-coast in communities that have adopted the Mobile Alert Network

Special Alert Tone - The Mobile Alert Network can be configured to play a specialized tone for critical alerts. This means that important emergency messages rise above the normal clutter of other text alerts

Location Privacy - The Mobile Alert Network is the ONLY solution for delivering geographically targeted messages while guaranteeing the privacy of the subscriber's location

Historical Location-Based Messaging - Often it is important to deliver a message to people who were in a certain area in the past (e.g., anthrax release, crime witness search, etc.). The Mobile Alert Network is the ONLY solution available that provides historical location-based messaging

Time Window - Messages have time windows when they are valid and useful. Users who enter the targeted geographic area during the time window will receive the alert immediately

Message Targeting - Messages can also be selectively delivered based on many other factors including velocity, direction of travel, etc. For example, messages can be delivered to people driving, but not to pedestrians
