School Notification Service (SNS) is a web-based notification system that allows school to communicate both routine and emergency information directly with the faculty, staff, students, and parents via email, phone, and text message. Developed by the makers of CrimeWeb.net (a web-based service that facilitates the exchange of public safety related information between law enforcement agencies and the community), SNS can reach thousands of people in minutes with one easy-to-send alert that is transmitted simultaneously to each subscriber’s cell phone, pager, PDA, and e-mail accounts.
