by Brianna Crandall — April 29, 2016 — Multimodal mass notification technologies pioneer Omnilert recently announced that its premier emergency notification mobile application, Scenario Launcher, is now available on the Apple Watch.
Omnilert’s premier mobile app, Scenario Launcher, is now available on the Apple Watch, enabling initiation of an entire mass emergency response notification sequence with a tap.
Every second counts when a crisis occurs at a school or business, reminds Omnilert, and this introduction of a wearable notification mechanism is a significant innovation for reducing response times. Omnilert’s Scenarios app for the Apple Watch is designed to be a fast and reliable way to simultaneously mobilize response teams and notify those in potential danger.
The Scenario Launcher mobile app can initiate a full range of pre-defined mass notifications in less than 10 seconds from virtually any location, says the company. More than 1,000 administrators currently using Scenarios can now initiate an entire mass emergency response notification sequence with a tap.
Niclas Gustavsson, Omnilert’s chief technology officer, explained:
Omnilert is designed for use under duress, and Scenario Launcher for Apple Watch is the ultimate expression of immediate, reliable emergency response. It makes the complex easy and further reduces the time needed to initiate a full response to any type of situation, says the company.
Omnilert Scenarios can be used to address a wide range of situations, including an active shooter, crisis team mobilization, inclement weather closing, IT network outage, lockdown, power outage, and more. Scenarios can simultaneously send prepared mass text, e-mail and voice messages; post messages to social media and Web sites; activate conference bridges and hotlines; and send alerts to desktop computers and digital signs.
Planning an organization’s response before an incident occurs greatly increases the emergency notification success rate. Omnilert Scenarios, and now Scenarios for the Apple Watch, make this easier, faster and more reliable than ever, says the company.
Omnilert is said to have invented the world’s first campus emergency notification system, e2Campus, and now supports all industries to keep communities safe and connected. The company’s award-winning service enables a single person to communicate critical information to thousands of people anywhere, anytime, on any device or service, affording better crisis communications, emergency management, business continuity, disaster recovery, and crime solving. The company’s thousands of clients include universities, manufacturers, hospitals, nonprofits, government entities and more. The privately held company is headquartered in Leesburg, Virginia.
