Desktop Alert’s Total Alert System (DTA) version 5 is a commercially developed mass notification system used to provide warning and instructions to personnel in emergency situations.
DTA can contact installation computer users at their desktops and require them to confirm receipt of the alert flashed on the computer screen. The alerts can be used for any emergency situation, such as inclement weather notifications, fires, active shooters, attacks, etc.
