Crisis Notification System

A Crisis Notification System for Education Facilities is essential!

Protecting the students, staff and visitors at your school is becoming vital in these times of rising crime, terrorist activity and abnormal weather patterns. Implementing a crisis notification system is one of the most critical steps when protecting everyone in the event of an emergency.

There are many ways to notify everyone of crisis situations, and these methods would depend on the communication devices that have been implemented within each individual school or district. Guyette Communication Industries has assisted many education facilities all over Northeast PA in unifying their communication systems to allow for many forms of effective contact, on and off campus.

Technology has provided sources to contact others promptly and efficiently

In the event of a crisis situation, having an emergency communication plan in place will dramatically make for improved response times, and clearer directives for everyone to follow. The notification system is arranged to work with your existing communication devises already in place, and more equipment can be added or changed to meet the specific needs of your school or district.

With the addition of cellphones, tablets and computers, the sources of contact have greatly increased and allows for information to be passed on faster and more effectively. Some examples of crisis notification that are currently being implemented in the education industry, for in-house and off campus contact are:

• Intercom/Paging with pre-recorded or on spec messages
• Text or Voice Messaging with a pre-determined list of phone numbers
• Visual Signage and Audible Alerts for indoor and outdoor areas
• Automated Email Notifications

These forms of contact can be more than just crisis notification

Schools have even found uses for their crisis notification systems that add more value and assist in lowering cost of communicating information to large groups. Such as passing on health and safety updates, school news, upcoming events and early dismissal notices.
