Alerts to Key workers

As part of the disaster scenario solutions for the organisation we have a system called Everbridge that allows the emergency response team to send out SMS texts, emails and Everbridge app messages to staff (currently 288 work mobiles) when there is an issue with the building or the network access.  Can you think of any element within O365 that could do something similar if all work phones had O365 element installed?

    Ralphross If using Microsoft Teams you can use Urgent alerts https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/mark-a-message-as-important-or-urgent-in-teams-ea99d5b6-1317-4550-8d75-86ff14cd4462

      Thank you Paul, I was hoping for a different solution, maybe a powerapp that could do this. But thank you you

        Ralphross I see, well there's probably lots you can do with the Power Apps and Power Automate depending on your appetite for building functionality.
