OnSolve, a global provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based critical communication solutions for enterprise, SMB, and government clients, has announced the addition of social media updates to its existing CodeRED Launcher mobile application.

This new feature, provided at no additional cost, allows clients to send social media updates directly to linked Twitter and Facebook accounts through the mobile app. The CodeRED Launcher application also supports phone, text, and email alerts.

Use cases for the CodeRED Launcher app range from road closure announcements to evacuation orders or active shooter alerts. First responders and government agencies can use this feature to send updates to impacted individuals directly from their mobile devices. With the addition of social media updates, emergency officials can now reach their constituents through every major mode of communication. The purpose of a mass notification solution, like those provided by OnSolve, is to alert individuals who may be affected by an emergency as quickly as possible through every possible channel.

The CodeRED Launcher was created to give authorized users the ability to send notifications directly from their smartphone or tablet devices. Within seconds, users can send notifications to targeted contacts across geographic areas through the app. The app guides the user through the notification process, allowing a new message to be created or an existing scenario that has already saved in the system to be activated. Users may also view statistics, record voice messages via the device microphone, and more. The CodeRED Launcher app is available for iOS, Android and Windows devices. More at onsolve.com/crlauncher.
