Emergency Management Systems Provide Clear Safety Alerts for Students, Staff, and The Community

Ensure School Safety with Clear Emergency Messaging

School security is often framed within the context of prevention and intervention. Campus coverage using a network of cameras, gunshot, vape, and disturbance detectors allow us to note activity. Interlopers and intruders can be identified, and security staff dispatched to resolve.

Successful intervention requires effective communication between administrators, staff, and security. It is also critical to ensure that students, educators, and families are kept informed with the latest information during crises.

During the school year, there are numerous times when administrators need to send information and messages to all or part of the school community. Common events include Updating schedules, alerting the community of illness outbreaks or reporting more extreme incidents like severe weather or a school shooting. Notification systems quickly deliver pertinent and up-to-date information over multiple methods.

A school emergency management system in your Memorial, TX school notifies individuals and groups with clear and concise information directing them to safety or reunification.

Student and Staff Safety Status

During an active incident, security needs to know two things: the location of the intruder(s) and the lockdown status of classrooms. Two-way communication, the ability to send and receive clear and concise information, is essential. 

Notifications via text or on designated devices can be sent to teachers with questions on students and classroom conditions. Teachers can respond with one-touch replies. Your team can collate the response and formulate extraction plans based on situational needs.

In the case of sudden extreme weather events, emergency notifications can be sent out to all locations that may face danger. After the threat has passed, individuals can respond to notifications with their current location and whether or not they are safe or in need of medical assistance. Authorities can prioritize emergency response while keeping an accurate accounting.

Mass Alert Systems

Once the first response team is activated, alerting parents and the community with exact information is vital.

Multi-channel communications send messaging out via pre-recorded phone calls, text messaging, and social media. In this way, you can present a single and direct message to everyone regardless of which platform they use. Direct all of those concerned to official messaging with directions as to where people can gather to await news and plan for reunification with loved ones.

With well-practiced response actions by safety personnel in conjunction with responsible information distribution, school emergency management systems create a better chance of success.
