### "Easy to use mass alerting system"

June 30, 2021

5.0

I have been very pleased with the service Alertable provides and appreciate the uptake it is seeing throughout BC.

Pros

I value the amount of felxibility and ease of use that Alertable by PEASI offers.

Cons

There is room to develop an option whereby a recipient of a notification can confirm that they have received the notification and engage in a two-way automated dialogue. Example: -> Click here to confirm receipt of this evacuation order. -> If you need assistance to evacuate please click here (immobile due to disasbility, no transport, no egress routes, etc.) - > Select a button to inform the EOC or EM planners of where you will go: -> Reception Centre A -> Reception Centre B -> I will stay with family and friends

Reason for choosing Alertable

We preferred that the pricing on this system was consistent and predictable and that the system is used for other Provincial Alerting systems. There is no need for users to sign-up or create an account - only an app is required. Additional optional sign-up options exist for users that do not have smartphones or mobile technology and users who require landline, email or text notification as well.

### "SaskAlert Review"

May 19, 2020

5.0

Pros

I like that it instantly gets out information to all necessary parties quickly and efficiently. It is a very useful tool for municipalities in times of crisis.

Cons

I find that there are times where I am unsure of what information to put in which spots, as some items are to be clicked and other not. With our SaskAlert training, it's very specific as to what we need to write and where things need to go, but I struggle to get it accurate enough. A suggestion I have is to provide written templates for all the different scenarios that will populate when selected. This will help to eliminate the possibility of errors.

### "SaskAlert "

August 14, 2019

4.0

In the event of power outages, SaskAlert messages are still able to be pushed out by the Regina office.

Pros

The pre-made messages for the various types of alerts.

Cons

The program is continually changing. Every training session offered, something new about the program is being presented.

Thank you for your review, Helen. Glad to hear that the alert templates are useful and good to hear you have arrangements with other municipalities using the same system to send an alert on your behalf in case of power outage.

### "SaskAlert"

May 19, 2020

5.0

Very good product, easy to use, friendly & helpful staff.

Pros

SaskAlert is provided free of charge in Saskatchewan. Once training was completed, the only requirement was that 4 test alerts be made, updated and cancelled each year. When we had a water main break while neither of the authorized users had access to the program, a simple call to their office had an alert sent out right away.

Cons

The mapping feature is slightly awkward to use

Reason for choosing Alertable

SaskAlert is free to municipalities in Saskatchewan.

### "Alertable Platform Review (AEA)"

August 27, 2019

4.0

Pros

There is a huge benefit with having a platform that has built-in templates to utilize when you are in a hurry - like during an emergency/disaster. Spell checking ensures that a message is accurate and makes sense. Click and drag options for sections is helpful.

Cons

There is a disconnect when building directions from the click and drag in that you can't just type what you want, you must choose at least one in the bank.

### "SaskAlert"

August 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

Once the training is received, this software program is easy to navigate through. I have never had an issue during my practice training alerts, or actual alerts. I like how quickly the information can get out to the resident in the community who have the app on their phones. It is easy to quickly do an update and cancel an alert.

Cons

Some of the areas to fill in are specific on the information required. Therefore, it can be confusing as to what exactly is needed in these areas.

### "Great product for a great price"

October 6, 2021

5.0

The staff at Alertable are knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Set up and implementation went quickly and smoothly.

Pros

Alertable provided the Township of Ramara with the ability to send out mass notifications to residents and visitors through multiple channels. Similar products were double or triple the cost of this system and did not include all the features this system has.

Cons

This system is missing an app that allows you to enter notifications in a easy manner.

Thank you for your review of Alertable and glad to hear that you find value for money in choosing Alertable for all your community notification needs. Did you know that you can sign in to Alertable from a mobile phone to send alerts? It has a mobile-friendly screen so that you can send notifications quickly from the field, while on the go, right from your smartphone or tablet.

### "Valuable Communication"

August 20, 2019

4.0

We use the system to alert our residents of events that are happening in our jurisdiction as far as emergency management goes. Like drinking water advisories, water disruption. Fortunately we have not needed to use it for flooding and fire events in our municipality but it would certainly be of value in those circumstances.

Pros

The ease of use, the design is organized.

Cons

I cannot comment on any cons for this platform.

August 9, 2019

4.0

Alertable is just what we needed for our community. It reaches everyone that we need to, works better than social media.

Pros

This software is easy to learn and use. Makes getting information out to the public quick and easy.

Cons

I haven't quite figured out the map feature, but then again, I don't really need to use it.

### "Excellent Emergency Communications Tool"

October 1, 2021

5.0

We're very pleased with Alertable. It makes sending out mass public alerts easy. The team at Alertable is always available to support or answer questions.

Pros

Alertable was very easy to set up and use. Creating alerts is straightforward and fast. Alerts are geotargeted so they reach only the people that are impacted.

Cons

We have no concerns. The team does a great job of onboarding new people into the system and backing their product with great support.

Participated in a vigorous training and credential maintenance program, have not yet had to send a live alert.

Pros

It is a trusted source of extremely useful local and regional emergency alerts to stakeholders.

Cons

The training and maintenance of credentials is fairly onerous

Reason for choosing Alertable

This service is a useful tool for regional alerts, we do also have a local app for emergencies.

August 20, 2019

Excellent.

Easy to use and understand. System allows for quick practice to keep skills relevant.

June 30, 2021

Pros

The Alertable software is a great tool to communicate public service alerts to the public. The training site made learning the software easy, breaking down the steps for each part of the alert. I like the demo site and practicing posting alerts and using all the templates.

Cons

I am still a new user of the software and don't have any complaints so far.

June 30, 2021

5.0

Pros

Alertable is easy to use both as the sender of a message and the recipient. The templates make the process of sending a message simple and less stressful. Training is easy and fast.

Cons

It would be nice if there was a simpler way of embedding the sign-up form right in my website rather than linking to an external page.
