Imagine one of your churchgoers is having a heart attack. You call 911, but your call is delayed. You panic, unable to give details as you try to assist the person. You lose valuable seconds. This situation can happen to you at your church, and you should prepare for that. As a leader in your church, you have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. You have to care and account for your whole congregation. It can be overwhelming at times, and you deserve to have fewer worries at church, especially during worship and prayer. Luckily, you have Alert Protection Services. In emergencies, you can have a better way of keeping everyone safe and in good health. One of those ways is through a safety and emergency notification system, like Alert-Com. With Alert-Com, first responders respond in seconds and the pressure is taken off your shoulders.
What is Alert-Com?
Alert-Com is a rapid emergency notification-communication system that instantly alerts authorities when facing a threat or emergency and can get you a faster response to those emergencies with the touch of a button. Within the system, Alert-Com has features like a Red Threat Button, a Medical Alert Button, and a Need Assistance Button. The Red Threat Button notifies everyone like an Amber Alert and tells them how to respond, and what type of threat they face. The Medical Alert Button holds different medical alerts within, allowing one to select which emergency they face, where the monitoring station immediately relays the selected emergency to an EMS. The Need Assistance Button is for other threats or suspicious activity where trained people are notified in low-critical situations, such as when someone notifies a suspicious individual at your church. This technology has many benefits besides a faster response time, but these are likely the most important to you in a church.
