Emergency notification - UCLA has won the California Emergency Services Association's Gold Award for its deployment of BruinAlert, a unified emergency alerting system built on the IWSAlerts emergency notification solution from San Mateo, CA-based AtHoc.
In 2007, UCLA deployed AtHoc IWSAlerts as part of its emergency management strategy to protect its west Los Angeles campus population of more than 60,000 people.
Since that 2007 deployment, BruinAlert has been used twice – once last July to alert the campus population about a 5.8 magnitude earthquake, and again last October when a wildfire erupted near campus.
According to the company, AtHoc IWSAlerts provides a comprehensive, unified system for UCLA that manages alert dissemination across multiple channels and physical devices, including network alerting to desktops, telephony alerting, e-mail, SMS text messaging, campus sirens, radio, cable TV and California's Emergency Digital Information Service.
