e-CYREN is a web based emergency management system that provides immediate access to a person’s essential information needed in a crisis. Families can enter and maintain photos, emergency contact, medical information in a secure online environment and grant access to others as needed. Parents can share this critical information with schools, day care centers, youth organizations and medical personnel. e-CYREN replaces the need to complete emergency contact forms manually. Instead, parents can enter the information once and print and grant access as needed. Schools and child care providers can use e-CYREN to easily and quickly notify parents and guardians of an event such as an evacuation, school closure, or an upcoming event through email, text, or voice. As a secure web-based data collection tool, it reduces the risk associated with data-entry errors, as parents as parents are responsible for creating and maintaining their child’s essential information. Unique to e-CYREN is the integration of mass communication technology in a system that is easy and affordable. It is offered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) through annual subscriptions to families and organizations. There is not hardware to purchase or software to load. e-CYREN is available 24-hours a day and 7 days a week anywhere there is internet service.
