The VEKTRA Notification module has been developed in order to automate the notification of particular people, whether individuals or legal entities in the immediate aftermath of an accident. The notification is carried out either in order to inform such entities in order to enable them to take their own actions or in order to gather people at the workplace (crisis management teams, crisis committees etc.).

The Notification module supports the following notification channels:

• Mobile phone;
• Fixed phone line;
• Facsimile;
• Email;

The installed software is capable of predefining various types of emergency events and subsequent assignment of people to be notified and the channels to use to complete this notification. The module is equipped with advanced configuration options and can account for different time availability in terms of the people to be contacted. It enables the most demanding notification process to be completed, i.e. manual calls, sending text messages, faxes and emails by only few mouse clicks. Operators get the feedback on the result of the notification process. The entire process can also be initiated automatically on the basis of Monitoring module information.

The Notification module can be used separately or as an integral part of the HERMES notification system.
