University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)

Campus–wide Emergency Mass Notification

UCLA successfully created a campus-wide emergency mass notification system, known as “BruinAlert,” based on AtHoc IWSAlerts™ software. By using AtHoc IWSAlerts, UCLA became one of the first major American universities to deploy an effective mass notification system that fully unifies all campus communications resources.

Triggering an alert is simple. We just add the location of the emergency, fill in the blanks, target the recipient groups and send out the alert.

U.S. Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC)

Command–wide Emergency Notification

The U.S. Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) has over 76,000 personnel (active duty, reservists, civilians) on 40 bases across the United States. With such a large, dispersed and highly-mobile force, commanders were faced with major challenges when attempting to reach their personnel in times of emergency using existing methods. AFRC decided to establish a command-wide emergency notification management system to support these needs and assure AFRC's compliance with Air Force Instructions (AFIs) mandating rapid and personalized communications and personnel accountability.

IWSAlerts gives AFRC the ability to notify all AFRC Wings simultaneously – with just a few mouse clicks – saving the command thousands of dollars in implementation costs, and ensuring personnel accountability.

Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC)

Command-wide Emergency Alerting

The AETC needed a reliable and secure way to deliver emergency threat notifications to personnel at its thirteen bases. They wanted the ability to inform personnel about threats and have instructions for action as quickly as possible after a threat is identified – whether personnel are outdoors or inside sound-proof buildings and bunkers. Meeting this mission-critical alerting need allowed AETC to address Air Force Headquarters' mandate AFI 10-2501 for Full Spectrum Threat Response (FSTR) Operations Readiness.

The command standard is AtHoc Incorporated.
