Emergency Communication for Education

Using emergency Alert System for Schools App on a Smartphone

Communication in a crisis

The current security climate, along with new legislation, now requires schools, colleges, and universities to respond effectively to emergency situations that may threaten the safety of students, staff, and visitors.

Maintaining safety during such events is essential. Callmy Alert provides an intuitive lockdown and mobilisation system specifically designed to meet the needs of educational institutions.

The system supports full or partial lockdowns, evacuations, and invacuations, helping institutions comply with legislative requirements.

To deliver added value, Callmy Alert also has integrated features that support lone working security and personal safety.

If students or members of staff find themselves in a threatening situation, the SOS function is activated and a responding team is notified. The response team can see where the SOS has been activated and also the locations of all other members of the security team – who may be able to provide immediate assistance.

The response team can also see the SOS users contact details, track their GPS location* and access the microphone on their device – to hear what is happening at the scene.

A dedicated service to improve response

Callmy Alert will enable you to post text, voice and picture messages in an instant, which relevant parties consume via a dedicated app, desktop alerts or SMS. If required each Callmy Alert message can be configured to request an appropriate response – the responses monitored in real-time via the Callmy Management Portal.

As user’s Callmy service is only used for urgent messages, there is less risk of an important communication being missed – this greatly benefits response time

Different situations will dictate the response you require. Callmy will enable you to send a message as either a simple statement of the fact, or configured to request an acknowledgement or some response details

Real-time
Management

Being able to send mass communications with none of the cost or complexity of similar solutions is only part of the story.

It is also vital you are provided with details on how your Callmy Alert service is performing and how messages are being consumed, with graphical information on the whereabouts of your users*.

The Callmy Management Portal enables your administrators to view these real-time details and also access historic data, post event.

This information will help to target communication, aid resource allocation and support your business operations.

Callmy Alert – a new service to compliment and support your Security, Business Continuity and emergency plans.

*privacy controlled by end users.

Cost effective and simple to deploy

Being cloud based there is no equipment to deploy or complex system integration issues to overcome. Callmy Alert is also a survivable service, which won’t be effected by IT failures or cyber attacks.

The ability to easily keep user details updated is another benefit, as is the being able to push notification to desktops, tablets, and phones.

The Callmy Management Portal also provides real-time date on all message activity and historic reports for audit purposes.

Overcoming the communication challenge?

A crisis will inevitably cause an added burden on communications resources and infrastructure – notwithstanding it has survived the situation and is accessible. News of a crisis is hard to control – it’s now the public and not the media who are the gatekeepers. The “story” may be global before you have time to react and this can be detrimental to managing the situation on the ground.

Sharing information effectively, locating contacts and maintaining situational awareness are key consideration. There is, therefore, a fundamental need to deploy survivable communication services, which are simple to manage and cost effective to deploy.
