A notification tool is described to rapidly establish 2-way communication to a large audience in an effort to ascertain the need for emergency services (“HELP”) or confirmation of well-being (“SAFE”) during emergent events, such as a hurricane, flood, and other natural or man-made disasters. The benefits derived from the design and deployment of the notification tool are primarily based in the efficient use of time and resources during periods of catastrophe and peril. The notification tool can be used by personnel not directly impacted by the emergency and to contact all individual patients simultaneously and/or in a short time period, overcoming the constraint of a call tree where one more operators dial patients sequentially. Responses requiring intervention can be seen immediately in the directed mailbox by multiple individuals and escalated as appropriate.
