Safe in Seconds Initiative

We believe every organization should be able to offer mass notification to help protect their people. Free desktop alerting software for universities and colleges, software and hardware grants for K12 schools, and scalable solutions enable more schools, places of worship, and other organizations to secure mass notification technology that they may otherwise not afford.

What is Desktop Alerting?

When an emergency happens, the Alertus Desktop™ Notification gives you the power to instantly grab the attention of your computer users with an audible, full screen alert on all or select PCs and Macs across your facilities. Alertus Desktop Notification can be activated through the Alertus Activation Software or your existing third-party personal recipient notification software.

Alertus also offers its browser-based Alertus Desktop™ for Chrome to participating K-12 schools, enabling them to send full-screen alerts to computers running a Chrome browser. Whether schools are operating in-person or remotely, the easy-to-deploy Alertus Desktop™ for Chrome serves as a powerful emergency mass notification tool with built-in flexibility for day-to-day communications.

To date, the initiative has benefitted more than 700 institutions both nationally and internationally. The initiative provides an enterprise-wide perpetual license of Alertus Desktop Notification at no cost.
