Mass Notification for Ports

As a gateway to the world and a catalyst for international commerce, it’s imperative for ports to ensure business continuity by preparing for the unpredictable.  

That’s why Alertus’ comprehensive mass notification system is designed to rapidly disseminate information to an entire port facility during any circumstance — from severe weather, port evacuations, or employee injury response.
