Get Emergency Alerts Out in Minutes, Not Hours

AI pre-drafts emergency notifications from templates. Authorized personnel approve with one click for rapid broadcast to all affected parties.


Why this matters

Emergency notifications must be fast AND accurate. Slow manual processes delay critical information while hasty messages cause panic with incorrect details. Organizations need a system that pre-drafts notifications instantly from verified templates while still requiring human authorization before broadcast.


How MultiMail solves this

MultiMail's AI agent pre-drafts emergency notifications from approved templates within seconds of an emergency trigger. With gated_send oversight, authorized personnel review and approve with one click for rapid delivery. The system balances speed with accuracy for facility closures, weather events, and security threats.

1

Detect Emergency Trigger

Weather alerts, facility systems, or manual triggers initiate the notification process. The AI immediately begins composing the appropriate notification.

2

Draft From Template

The AI selects the appropriate emergency template (weather, security, facility, health) and populates it with specific details — location, timing, and action instructions.

3

Rapid One-Click Approval

With gated_send, the drafted notification goes to authorized personnel for instant review. A single click approves broadcast to all affected parties.

4

Broadcast and Confirm

Approved notifications are sent immediately to the full distribution list. Delivery status is tracked to ensure all parties received the alert.


Implementation

Send Emergency Notification
python
import requests

API = "https://api.multimail.dev/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": "Bearer mm_live_xxx"}

def send_emergency_alert(alert_type: str, details: dict):
    templates = {
        "weather": {
            "subject": f"[URGENT] {details[&"cm">#039;event']} - {details['action']}",
            "body": (
                f"Due to {details[&"cm">#039;event']} issued by {details['source']}, "
                f"{details[&"cm">#039;action']}.\n\n"
                f"Effective: {details[&"cm">#039;effective_time']}\n"
                f"Duration: {details[&"cm">#039;duration']}\n\n"
                f"Please follow all safety protocols."
            )
        },
        "security": {
            "subject": f"[SECURITY ALERT] {details[&"cm">#039;event']}",
            "body": f"{details[&"cm">#039;instructions']}\n\nDo not reply to this email."
        }
    }

    template = templates[alert_type]

    # Get all affected parties
    recipients = requests.get(
        f"{API}/contacts/search",
        headers=HEADERS,
        params={"tags": f"emergency-list,{details[&"cm">#039;location']}"}
    ).json()

    for person in recipients["contacts"]:
        requests.post(
            f"{API}/send",
            headers=HEADERS,
            json={
                "from": "[email protected]",
                "to": person["email"],
                "subject": template["subject"],
                "text_body": template["body"]
            }
        )

Draft and queue an emergency notification for rapid approval and broadcast.

Manage Emergency Distribution Lists
python
import requests

API = "https://api.multimail.dev/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": "Bearer mm_live_xxx"}

"cm"># Add person to emergency distribution list
def add_to_emergency_list(email: str, name: str, location: str):
    return requests.post(
        f"{API}/contacts",
        headers=HEADERS,
        json={
            "email": email,
            "name": name,
            "tags": ["emergency-list", f"location-{location}", "active"]
        }
    ).json()

"cm"># Find all people at a specific location
def get_location_contacts(location: str):
    return requests.get(
        f"{API}/contacts/search",
        headers=HEADERS,
        params={"tags": f"emergency-list,location-{location}"}
    ).json()

"cm"># Verify list completeness
campus = get_location_contacts("main-campus")
print(f"Main campus emergency list: {len(campus[&"cm">#039;contacts'])} contacts")

Maintain emergency notification distribution lists by location and role.

MCP Tool Integration
typescript
"cm">// Emergency notification via MCP

"cm">// 1. Find affected parties by location
const affected = await mcp.search_contacts({
  tags: ["emergency-list", "location-main-campus"]

"cm">// 2. Send emergency notification
for (const person of affected.contacts) {
  await mcp.send_email({
    from: "[email protected]",
    to: person.email,
    subject: "[URGENT] Campus closed tomorrow - severe weather warning",
    text_body: "Due to the severe weather warning, all campus facilities will be closed tomorrow. Do not travel to campus."
  });
}

console.log(`Alert sent to ${affected.contacts.length} people`);

Use MultiMail MCP tools for emergency notification workflows.


What you get

Speed With Accuracy

AI pre-drafts notifications in seconds from approved templates. One-click approval means alerts go out in minutes instead of the hours manual processes take.

Consistent Emergency Language

Template-based drafting ensures emergency notifications use clear, tested language that's been reviewed by safety and legal teams.

Complete Delivery Tracking

MultiMail logs delivery status for every recipient, providing evidence that all affected parties were notified — critical for Clery Act compliance.

Location-Based Distribution

Contact tagging enables precise targeting by location, building, or department so only affected parties receive each notification.


Recommended oversight mode

Recommended
gated_send
Emergency notifications must be accurate — false alarms cause panic and erode trust. Gated send provides a single-click approval step that prevents accidental broadcasts while adding minimal delay to the notification process.

Common questions

Why not autonomous mode for emergencies?
While speed is critical, false emergency alerts cause panic, erode trust, and can trigger evacuation procedures. The single-click approval step adds under a minute while preventing accidental broadcasts from system glitches or false triggers.
How quickly can an emergency notification be sent?
From trigger to delivery, the process takes 2-5 minutes. AI drafts the notification in seconds, the approval step takes one click, and MultiMail delivers to all recipients in parallel. This is dramatically faster than manual drafting and distribution.
Does this meet Clery Act requirements?
MultiMail provides the delivery infrastructure and audit trail. The Clery Act requires timely warnings for campus safety threats. You'll need to verify that your notification process, templates, and distribution lists meet your institution's specific Clery compliance requirements.
Can I send to multiple channels beyond email?
MultiMail handles the email channel. For multi-channel emergency notifications (SMS, push, PA systems), use MultiMail alongside your other communication channels. The AI can draft the email version while your other systems handle additional channels.
