Being a school leader or administrator means one must take care of every student. The building must provide a safe area for them to learn. Parents trust that their children shouldn’t have to face a threat. It can be a lot of weight on one’s shoulders! That’s why there is a reliable safety technology that instantly alerts in the event of a threat, called Alert-Com. Alert-Com provides safety through various features that make communication faster and more efficient. This safety system guarantees a quicker response time from first responders, which can save valuable seconds.
How can students be guaranteed safety at school?
What kind of safety system is Alert-Com? Why use it?
“Research has shown that rapid notification can have a significant impact on emergency response times, ultimately affecting the outcome of a crisis.”
According to The Critical Role of Rapid Notification and Communication in Crisis Management: App-Based Solutions as Life Safety Devices by Jameson Ritter.
That is exactly what Alert-Com does. Alert-Com enhances communication during a crisis, accounts for and communicates with everyone, and decreases delays in notifying emergency services. Ignoring the need for safety technology puts student’s lives at risk. That’s why Alert Protection Services has developed this technology to cater to schools, businesses, churches, synagogues, and more. Alert-Com is easy to use for anyone.
