Abstract: A method for managing crisis-related communications includes storing, in a repository, data regarding entities and data indicating relationships between entities. Crisis-related information items are received from a plurality of originating entities. Each crisis-related information item includes metadata attributes. For each crisis-related information item, a set of recipient entities is identified based on the metadata attributes, and the data regarding entities and the data indicating relationships between entities stored in the repository. For a particular crisis-related information item, a new message associated with the particular crisis-related information item is composed. The new message is distributed to a corresponding set of recipient entities identified for the particular crisis-related information item.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for predicting potential reach of an alert to a targeted audience, targeted personal delivery devices and targeted non-personal notification delivery devices in an emergency mass notification system. The method includes receiving recipients and alert delivery devices data which define a targeted audience and devices of an emergency alert. The method further comprises evaluating contact and configuration data targeting quality rating, tracking data targeting quality rating and real-time data targeting quality rating based on the received recipients and devices data and a data sources repository. Responsive to the targeting quality ratings and prediction weighting data (e.g., numeric weights and descriptive thresholds), the method generating one or more predictions of the potential reach of the alert based on the targeting quality ratings.
