ICEsoft actively works with the relevant government agencies to stream their content, and augment it where appropriate or useful.  In general these services work at a macro level advising users about issues that might be going on at a provincial, county, or district level.  How they might impact and end user might not always be immediately apparent.

Voyent Alert! works at a much more refined level, providing users with greater context as to where they are relative to the alert incident and customizing the relevant data for the end user.  Alert notifications are engineered to accommodate moving incidents as well as moving users, so notifications can be triggered given the recipients proximity to an alert event.

Voyent Alert! is also administered at the community level and can be used for general day to day communications and local services (i.e. 311 features) as well as for sending out critical incident advisories.
