Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) provides a flexible and sophisticated means to deliver content and instructions for notification distribution. The CAP message format is necessarily complex but the results are worth it because today you can consolidate even more notification options with a single, easy-to-use alert workflow by using CAP. It's no wonder that CAP is rapidly gaining industry acceptance. Rave Mobile Safety and Visix Digital Signage discuss CAP and how it can be used to automate notifications and enable integration across notification methods. Our speakers will be Matthew Serra, ENP and Sr. Director of Product Management at Rave Mobile Safety and Trey Hicks, Chief Sales Officer, from Visix Digital Signage.

Researchers at the University at Buffalo conducted extensive research into preferred emergency communications modes by asking faculty and students controlled questions about how they want to be notified about important campus events, safety issues, and school closures.

In this Rave Mobile Safety webinar, Scott McGrath, Director of Product and Client Services, will break down the risks campuses face - both old and new - while looking ahead at new trends, technologies and standards that are emerging to simplify response.
