Advanced Communication for Campus Safety
Active shooter incidents, campus safety threats, severe weather, and other crisis situations require next generation communication systems that broadcast audible voice messages with exceptional clarity and push location-based safety alerts to the mobile phones of students, staff and faculty.
During active shooter and other campus safety incidents, LRAD communication systems:
- Initiate ‘Evacuate’ and ‘Shelter-in-place’ safety protocols
- Provide flexible communication coverage by broadcasting notifications and instructions to specific locations or campus-wide
- Broadcast messages and updates for the duration of the incident to inform, calm and reassure those affected
- Give on-scene commanders the capability to broadcast directions and instructions to first responders simultaneously and quickly coordinate incident responses
- Communicate information and directions to family members, friends, and emergency responders rushing into an incident area
- Are highly effective in communicating critical information before, during and after crisis situations, campus safety threats, severe weather and other crisis situations.
