Case Study: Cobb Electric Membership Corporation achieves rapid, reliable emergency alerts and enhanced employee safety with Alertus Technologies

Cobb Electric Membership Corporation - Customer Case Study

Cobb Electric Membership Corporation (Cobb EMC), a not‑for‑profit, member‑owned electric cooperative serving about 200,000 residential and commercial consumers in Marietta, Georgia, found that routine mass emails were not reliable for time‑sensitive emergencies. To improve employee safety and crisis communications, Cobb EMC selected Alertus Technologies and its Alertus Desktop Notification and Alertus Mobile App Suite as a dedicated Mass Notification System (MNS).

Alertus Technologies implemented Alertus Desktop Notification with a Desktop Activator panic button, mobile app alerts for field crews, integrated PA system messaging, and site‑specific weather feeds. The solution delivers facility‑wide emergency messages in seconds, lets dispatchers use preset customizable templates, provides location‑specific severe weather warnings, and ensures offsite crews receive alerts on iPads—creating redundant, multi‑channel notification that improves preparedness and differentiation of critical alerts from routine communications.
