The system provides notifications via multiple mechanisms to HUD recipients. In addition, the system provides interactive response capability so notified staff members can respond to various inquiries, for example, health and welfare status.

OCAO is seeking information regarding potential Contractor support services to provide rapid emergency alert notifications to HUD staff via a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) ready comprehensive enterprise-wide Emergency Notification Systems (ENS).
