When an emergency strikes, you need to communicate with your audience as soon as possible to keep them informed and safe. Visix technologies allow faster communication with your target audiences, anywhere they happen to be. Our software is designed with alert communications in mind, allowing you to override all scheduled content with just a few mouse clicks.
Our content manager Alert Mode supplants all previously scheduled content on the entire system or, if you prefer, to targeted regions. Your alerts are immediately sent out to your audience on multiple, pre-configured channels.
Visix products allow you to use multiple channels to get alerts out as soon as possible. Emergency messages can be sent to:
A crisis communications plan outlines what you need to communicate - how, when and to whom. It is usually part of an overall crisis plan that includes emergency operations procedures and business recovery tactics.
Be sure your plan is clear and easy to execute. Each member of your organization should be able to follow and carry out the plan in an emergency without convoluted directions or burdensome hierarchies to slog through.

Digital signage, desktop and RSS alerts should be clear, with a standard background (perhaps bright red) and large text fonts. Telephone communications, messages, and texts should be standardized and instantly recognizable.
