3n InstaCom Citizen Alert System Highlights

3n InstaCom Citizen Alert is a robust mass notification system with deep communication, reporting, and contact data management capabilities.

Essential capabilities for local and county government agencies include the ability to:

Target communications geographically.
Send messages to citizens located in a specific geographical region defined by postal code, street address, radius from a specific point, or by using a polygon drawing tool to identify a neighborhood or other location. Use advanced geographic targeting features, such as plumes and donuts to ensure pinpoint accuracy during critical incidents.

Enable citizens to subscribe to alerts.
Citizens and businesses can voluntarily sign up for alerts and specify the best way to reach them in an emergency through 3n InstaCom Citizen Alert’s opt-in page.

Customize the system with organization-specific data.
Easily add custom layers with organization-specific data—such as the location of hospitals, police stations, utility poles, and fire hydrants—to target communications more precisely and effectively.

Use one system for all organizations.
Organizations with multiple departments, locations, or districts can organize and manage the system in logical divisions. Each division operates autonomously while the umbrella organization can send messages to everyone in the system.
