Parents, teachers, staff, superintendents and law enforcement all recognize school

emergency preparedness as one of today’s most pressing educational issues. Medical

emergencies, student altercations, unauthorized visitors, suspicious activity and similar

situations occur daily in school systems. In critical moments, simplicity and speed are crucial to effective response. Teachers and administrators must be empowered to direct help to where it is needed - easily and quickly - because in a crisis, every second matters.

With teachers and staff in mind, we designed a solution that routes requests for help to key personnel instantly, with precise location information. Every staff member receives a smart CrisisAlert badge, which has only one function: to empower the wearer to quickly and discreetly activate an alert. The badge vibrates to confirm receipt of the alert.

The CrisisAlert platform is an Internet-of-Things (IoT) crisis management solution which uses a powerful blend of hardware, software, and wireless technologies to ensure fast, accurate and reliable emergency communication and campus-wide protection. Instant communication through visual cues and audio integration enable rapid response to any incident or crisis, anywhere on a school’s campus.
