UNIS
UNIS is used by the Southwest Utah Public Health Department (SWUPHD) to quickly disseminate information to our staff and partners via email, phone, and text messages. We practice sending notifications (as meeting reminders) to those who are registered in our system. This helps us and our partners be more familiar and comfortable with our mass notification system.
