MIHAN Alerts

MIHAN alerts are sent to roles within a particular geographical area; such as, a county, region or state-wide. Roles are assigned to each user account according to the job function a participant performs at an agency. Each MIHAN alert is sent at a low-, medium-, or high-priority level. Most MIHAN alerts are sent at low-priority. A low-priority alert contains important health-related but non-emergency information. High-priority alerts typically pertain to something that is highly communicable and /or lethal, and often call for immediate action. The MIHAN system can alert up to five methods of contact for each participant. Methods of contact include home and work email, text pagers, numeric pagers, work, home, and cell phones.
