Abstract
Systems and methods relating to public notification. A system for public notification of emergency situations or for alerting the public of incidents uses one or more servers in a firewalled environment that is segregated from the general Internet. The system receives a data feed from the REST API of computer aided dispatch systems used by the authorities in a jurisdiction (e.g. police and emergency services). The data is converted into standardized nomenclature and is transmitted to apps installed on user computing devices.
