Crisis-Tested at Boston Marathon Bombing
July 7, 2017
The message gets through after mass-crisis testing at the Boston Marathon. During the chaos immediately after the explosions, overloaded cellular networks led to failed calls and undeliverable text messages. However, those who had downloaded MBTA’s See Say on their phones could communicate. In the middle of the mayhem, people at the finish line shared information and photos with police using ELERTS’ app, and that critical information was reviewed by law enforcement.
Continuous communication is imperative during a crisis, and ELERTS’ solution has proven effective in such circumstances.
