What you can expect
Personalized communications
Using Voyent Alert!, we will provide information such as the distance and direction from an incident, and preferred evacuation routes from your tracked locations if required. The system will also be used to make you aware of any construction projects or service outages that may affect your home, business or route of travel.
Track multiple locations
The notification system allows you to create and track multiple locations such as "kids School" or "Mom's House". Any event or communication related to your tracked locations will be forwarded to you along your preferred communication channel.
Communication your way
Receive alerts over a wide variety of communication channels including mobile apps, text/SMS alerting, email or voice dial. You can register for one or more of these communication options.
No message fatigue
Smart alerting capabilities ensure that you will only get notified when a communication is relevant to you or one of the locations you are tracking.
