Heyer Alerta is an application to allow for the deployment of a rapid response network via text SMS/MMS. The goal is to provide a public number that can be given out while still having a structure in place to verify the information that is being received before creating a notification to a wide audience.

Overview

The usage model requires users for three roles:

  • Administrators
  • Verifiers
  • Responder

Administrators

This will be the only group with access to the web portion of the application. Their tasks will be to:

  • Manage users
  • Assign tags
  • Respond to incoming messages
  • Create new events
  • Mark events as verified
  • End events

Verifiers

This group is tasked with responding to a call to verify information before the creating of an event that will be sent to the responder group.

Responder

Responders are the largest group of users to be notified once an event has been properly verified.

Tags

Tags are assigned to both users and events. These can be a locality, interest, or skill, and it will determine which group of people will be notified when an event is created.
