An alert system is an automated communication tool used to send out alerts or notifications to subscribers via text, email, and/or app notifications, such as severe weather warnings and evacuation instructions, product updates and community news. Alert systems operate voluntarily with subscribers opting in to specific content from organizations or public safety authorities voluntarily - many municipalities and townships use these tools as vital emergency preparedness resources for residents. 
 
Alert systems allow organizations to communicate quickly and effectively, while simultaneously providing essential feedback on their effectiveness. When AI Agents are used to generate alert rules, teams experience 60-70% reduction in false positives compared to manual rules; teams also catch critical issues 2-3x faster as a result resulting in significant productivity gains as well as better sleep for on-call engineers which ultimately enhance system stability. 
 
Medical alert systems provide seniors with a reliable solution to stay safe and independent at home. With various wearable devices connected to a monitoring center via landline or cell network, these medical alert systems can detect falls or other dangerous situations and send a signal immediately, prompting help to arrive swiftly. 
 
These systems are widely utilized across both North America and Canada, being connected to the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) which then transmits 90-character Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) directly to participating cellular carriers in areas of danger. WEAs may include warnings about severe weather conditions or missing children and can be transmitted via television broadcast, radio broadcasts, social media websites and government websites. 
 
CDC and other public health organizations use alert systems to inform the public of impending threats or outbreaks of diseases, and when vaccines or drugs are available. 
 
While EAS provides multiple communication channels, it may be challenging to reach everyone during emergencies. To ensure they do not miss vital information, public health agencies such as CDC are testing new technologies - like AI-powered alert systems that can send it out simultaneously to multiple channels. 
 
 
panic button These systems utilize data collected via the Internet of Things - such as location or social media posts from a person - to analyze if they are in an affected area and then send customized text messages or push notifications directly to mobile devices equipped with GPS capabilities, informing individuals who might only receive relevant alerts tailored specifically for them - helping reduce message fatigue while increasing likelihood that public health threats such as infectious disease outbreaks will be taken action on.
