Subscribing is Easy
Communities that provide MCALERT offer an easy sign-up process for those who want to participate. Jay Hart, commenting from his Wellington headquarters, added “Enrollees may request messages be sent to multiple devices to ensure that they’ll receive notices wherever they might be and that the messages are relevant to where they are at the time, such as home or work.”
For the communities themselves, once set up, the system is easy to manage and operate. Hart reports rave reviews from the early MCALERT subscribers and note that the ability to communicate quickly when necessary provides them with the peace of mind they don’t get with other forms of emergency communication.
