Rave Mobile Safety, which makes software for public safety and emergency management agencies, announced Wednesday it was recently selected by Louisiana to power a statewide public alerting system.
The company will provide Louisiana services through the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, which is run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The announcement follows a recent forecast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of a 65% chance of an “above-average” Atlantic hurricane season. NOAA predicted in May there will be as many as 21 named storms and six major hurricanes this year.
