• and
• software operative on said processor to:
• a) receive recipient contact information for each of said plurality of recipient interfaces and store said recipient contact information in one or more predefined groups of communication recipients;
• b) receive communication input from said client interface that defines the critical communication;
• c) receive recipient input from said client interface regarding the identity of a group of communication recipients selected to receive the critical communication;
• d) receive broadcast input from said client interface that dictates when said server will contact said particular group of communication recipients selected to receive the critical communication;
• e) attempt to contact said particular group of communication recipients via said plurality of recipient interfaces;
