Note: This app is for cities/counties/businesses to send alerts and NOT for citizens to receive them. The Hyper-Reach Launch mobile app enables Hyper-Reach customers to quickly, easily and securely create and send emergency alerts and other messages from their phone, tablet or other mobile device. Hyper-Reach is a cloud-based mass emergency notification system used by public safety officials, emergency managers and others throughout the US.

Hyper-Reach Launch supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish and other languages when required. Once created and launched, Hyper-Reach messages are disseminated to and sent from the Hyper-Reach network, the most robust, secure and failure-resistant emergency messaging platform in the US, with unlimited scalability, unlimited backup and unmatched security, to reach both small and large groups of people as quickly as technologically possible.
