Southern Health-Santé Sud is now using a new mass notification system called RAVE Alert. This program will be used to notify staff of situations that may be dangerous in the area they live or work. It also has capabilities to ask staff to assist a site that needs assistance due to a mass casualty event or evacuations due to an emergency.

The emergency alerts would be sent from the following:

• text from 67283
• phone calls come from 204-428-2725
• emails from Southern Health-Santé Sud Alert at DisasterManagement@southernhealth.ca or getrave@shss.ca

Any messages coming from these sources are not spam. They could be system tests or alerts notifying staff of an emergency situation.

The Rave Alert system uses QHR/QSS to determine the staff’s work location, location of residence, phone numbers and email addresses. Regional program staff and those who work at multiple sites may not have their work place reflected as a specific location.

Staff that are wanting to receive alerts for specific locations that are outside their work location and/or residence can opt in to receive alerts for any community you would like.

To receive alerts, ensure all contact information are correct in QHR/QSS and opt-in to any additional alerts by logging into Rave and selecting the communities you would like captured.

Access Directions on how to opt-in to additional alerts.
