Why It Matters

Incident Aware gives organizations the tools to respond quickly, keep staff informed, and maintain clear records — all from one platform. The result is a smarter, more confident approach to workplace safety and emergency management.

What is a Mass Notification System?

by lisa November 28, 2025

A Mass Notification System (MNS) is a communication tool that allows organizations to send emergency alerts, updates, and critical messages to large groups of people. These systems are designed to deliver messages through SMS, email, voice and social media to ensure that information reaches its intended audience no matter where they are or what device they're using.

The most significant advantage of a mass notification app is the ability to send messages in real-time during emergencies. Whether it’s a weather alert, an active shooter situation, or a local evacuation order, quick communication can save lives.

Incident Aware by Genesis Systems ensures that notifications are sent to multiple communication channels, including text messages, emails, and even social media, allowing emergency information to reach individuals across various platforms simultaneously.

Incident Aware is an ideal solution, offering multi-channel notifications, real-time updates, and the scalability to meet your organization’s needs. In times of crisis, being able to communicate swiftly and effectively could make all the difference.
