Pepperdine University Launches Comprehensive Emergency Communication System with 3n

University Selects 3n’s InstaCom Campus Alert Mass Notification System

GLENDALE, Calif. -[EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION NEWS]-– August 21, 2007 – To further strengthen University emergency preparedness, Pepperdine University has launched a comprehensive campus-wide emergency communication system leveraging InstaCom Campus Alert, a mass notification system from 3n (National Notification Network), a mass notification system provider.

The 3n mass notification system enables Pepperdine to communicate with students, staff, and faculty in minutes via a number of contact methods—including native SMS text messaging, almost any voice-enabled device such as cell phones and landlines, instant messaging, pagers, and faxes—greatly increasing the likelihood that messages will be delivered and received in a timely manner.

3n’s emergency notification system can be used across Pepperdine’s multiple campuses to assemble and coordinate public safety and crisis response teams; convene immediate briefings for the Emergency Operations Committee; notify students, faculty and staff in minutes; and reach students on popular devices with voice and text simultaneously. It automatically cycles through all specified communication devices in an effort to reach people, reducing the time it takes to send critical messages while freeing up personnel to manage other critical tasks before, during and after an emergency.
