Which of the following are examples of intranet alerts and reverse 9-1-1?

• A. Drmns
• B. SMS alerts
• C. Email broadcasts
• D. Public address

Answer: (A)

Intranet alerts are messages sent over an organization’s internal networks to staff, used to warn or inform people quickly within the organization during an incident. A system that is built for internal notification, like Drmns, fits this role because it’s designed to reach people inside the organization through its own channels. That’s exactly what intranet alerts and reverse 9-1-1 aim to do: rapidly contact internal audiences during emergencies.

SMS alerts and email broadcasts are versatile and can reach people outside the organization, not confined to the internal network, so they aren’t inherently intranet-based. A public address system delivers announcements over a building’s speakers and isn’t a secure, targeted intranet alerting tool.
