Re: Emergency Alert System

Hi, David.  We thought about that briefly and then opted for WENS, a hosted service.  WENS works well, and there are 
obviously lots of other players.  A key point in favor of that approach is that it will still work in the event of a 
local incident that disrupts your on-campus systems...

Are there any decent free/open source systems that will allow us to send out both SMS, email, and desktop popup alerts 
in the event of a campus lockdown or similar emergency event?

Sorry if this has been covered already. Thanks in advance!!!
