Mobile-FYI, Inc. (”FYI”), a leading provider of innovative, life altering mobile solutions for today’s society-on-the-go, today encouraged officials and administrators at universities, colleges and schools across the United States to enhance their communication strategies by incorporating free text messaging capabilities for students, faculty, parents and others through comprehensive outreach and emergency alert plans. To better empower these safety mechanisms in all educational environments, the Company formally announced “FYI Campus Connect-and-Protect” — another Mobile-FYI web-based emergency notification solution for distributing critical alerts via SMS text messages — no special software or applications are required.

In the wake of last week’s horrific killing spree by Seung-Hui Cho at Virginia Tech University — the deadliest campus violence in our country’s history, school officials have been examining their emergency notification plans and alternatives. While many higher-education organizations have explored text-messaging options, some administrators have highlighted doubts in the ability to reach their school’s entire population — as well as the costs associated with embracing these solutions, both with initial implementation and ongoing maintenance. These concerns are notable, but FYI believes that effective safety communication plans must be excessive and redundant, reinforcing a multi-channel approach for notifying people with accurate and timely information — quickly and easily.

According to a recent Forrester Research study, approximately 35% of the United State’s mobile subscriber population has used text messaging. Given the growing dominance of this communication platform and the fact that only 31 percent of Americans have any emergency plans in place (Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, September 2006), text messaging provides an additional and viable way for organizations and communities to communicate important information — including safety alerts, preparation procedures and security notifications with students, parents, faculty and staff.
