Galain Alerts & Warnings and Mass Notification Inf

Galain Alerts & Warnings and Mass Notification Informational Series Survey

Galain Solutions is a consultancy devoted to stronger alerts for stronger communities. Over the years, we’ve amassed a great deal of expertise, a strong team, and an expansive network of contacts. We’d like to share what we’ve learned.

We’re going to publish a five-part informational series on the most pressing problems and concerns about emergency alerting and mass notifications. The series will be made available to any professional involved in alerting.

This survey will help us identify topics that will be most helpful to you and your counterparts across the country. The survey will take less than five minutes. First, select the general topics that are most interesting to you. Then, you’ll be asked to indicate which sub-topics you prefer from the general topics.

Feel free to provide the link to the survey to any of your colleagues whose input you think would be valuable. Plus, you'll be asked at the end of the survey to provide email addresses of others who you think would like to take the survey. The email addresses remain confidential. Galain will not even be able to see them.
