We are excited to announce the new Rapid Notify Severe Weather Warning service is now available for order. Existing customers will receive special discounted pricing when ordering in the month of July.
Severe Weather Warnings will deliver automated and targeted alert notifications to those who self-register and elect to receive severe weather alerts. Our system integrates with the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service to deliver warnings specific to county or state areas.
Severe weather warnings will be sent only to those who have elected to receive alerts by SMS text and/or email messages to their cell phones or smart phones. These warnings are categorized as life threatening and expected within a very short period of time, for example: Blizzard Warning, Flash Flood Warning, Tornado Warning, etc.
Precision-targeted early warning notifications are generated automatically moments after being issued by the National Weather Service and no human action or intervention is required. As the severe weather events occur, alerts are delivered automatically any time of day. The automation removes manual intervention and reduces response time to activate emergency alerts and notify personnel.
Alerts are only delivered to those who have self-registered and opted in to the system. All contact information remains private.

The Rapid Notify team is profoundly saddened by the devastation caused by violent weather across the United States these past few weeks. We are hard at work creating a brand new Weather Alert feature, soon to be available as an exciting new option for all of our customers.
Our customers will soon be able to receive automated, location-specific, weather warnings and activate emergency response plans before natural hazards strike. The National Weather Service monitors weather conditions around the clock and issues warnings when severe weather such as tornados, lightning, flooding, hurricanes, and snowstorms threaten to strike your area.
The new Rapid Notify Weather Alert Module will automatically alert your weather-specific recipient list (as identified by you) with these critical weather warnings. The notifications can also be automatically sent to your emergency managers and first responders, giving them time to qualify the threat and decide whether or not to activate a specific emergency notification alert scenario to a broader group of affected residents or personnel.
Warnings and emergency alerts can be delivered in SMS text message and email format which can be communicated to multiple personal communication devices, including mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, and computers.
The Rapid Notify Weather Alert emergency notification solution will enable organizations to reduce response time needed to activate emergency alerts and notify personnel. By removing the time needed for manual alert activation, emergency managers can focus on executing disaster response scenarios immediately. Build trust and a sense of safety with your community by communicating life-saving information and instructions to citizens before severe weather events occur.

Rapid Notify is proud to announce new messaging and list creation features! Thanks to your insightful questions, comments and suggestions, we have added multiple innovative and timesaving features to the Rapid Notify system.
The all-new “re-send” option enables users to send a different message than what was used in the original alert notification. Now you can choose any message to send to successful, failed or “couldn’t attempt” calls or any combination of the three. This re-send feature is now much more useful and powerful; for example, send an all-clear alert as a follow up to the successful delivery recipients of the original emergency alert.
In addition, users now have the ability to create new messages and contact lists on the fly during the alert creation process. Now, you can select “new message” and/or “new list” options while staying within the alert creation process and be returned to the same alert screen right where you left off, saving you valuable time when pre-recorded messages or pre-loaded lists are missing or unavailable!
Both of these new features enhance the flexibility of the system and enable an efficient and logical flow of alert events for users.
We hope you enjoy using these new features! Look for more exciting enhancements in the future. In the meantime, please let us know of any features or options that interest you.
Happy Holidays to all!!!
