Cross-Platform Notifications 

A cross-platform notification system is essential to effectively inform school communities during an emergency situation. This means notifications will be sent out in real time to phones, email, social media channels, and even digital signage throughout the school. As an alternative, some of these platforms may be used, and others ignored depending on the nature of each crisis. For example, during an active shooter situation, it may be best to hide how information is distributed on campus. More on that below. 

Targeted, User-Friendly Notifications 

In the event of an emergency, it's important to get the right information to the right people. That’s why ASAP Security Services' systems will design a layered notification system, allowing specific groups to receive critical information in a timely manner. For example, notifications may be sent only to teachers and staff in a certain area of the school or to parents of students in a particular class. 

At ASAP Security Services, we also understand how critical it is for mass notification systems to be easy to operate. By integrating emergency messaging services with surveillance cameras, access control points, and alarm systems, we will ensure that protecting students during a crisis is as easy as possible, given the circumstances.
