History
Following a 2001 tornado disaster that struck the University of Maryland and killed two students, Jason Volk, a Robert H. Smith School of Business undergraduate, founded Alertus Technologies. The company's initial development activities and operations were financed by grants from the State of Maryland.[1]
In 2003, Alertus Technologies was recognized in the University's Third Annual Business Plan Competition. The company received second place in the competition and a $15,000 prize.[2]
Alertus Technologies was recognized by Campus Safety Magazine in 2016 for the Campus Safety BEST Award for its Emergency Mass Notification System.[3][4]
