The UseIRIS App is a turbo companion to the online IRIS mass notification messaging system. Administrators: The App allows system and group administrators to quickly broadcast messages via the IRIS system. The Message admins have the ability to quickly broadcast messages via Text-to-Speech, voice recorded alert or saved alert methods.

If the "needs assistance" feature is activated, it also allows the users to reply to messages, whether or not she or he needs assistance due to an emergency alert.
