Alerting K-12 Schools

With one Alert Beacon in each school's front office, school administrators have the confidence that their district is well prepared to respond to imminent threats and during a crisis situation. The integrated siren and strobes immediately capture the attention of staff whether they are on a telephone call, distracted by a parent and not continuously monitoring email, or a power outage occurs. Too often cellular and text messaging fails due to congestion, emails go unread, and landline phones are unanswered.  Alert Beacons offer reliability unlike any other solution based on point-to-multipoint broadcast architecture.  Each Alert Beacon is equipped with buttons for schools to acknowledge receipt and silence their Alert Beacon.

External emergency durress buttons can be connected to an Alert Beacon and wall mounted side by side, which if pressed dispatch officers to the school without having to pick up a phone in the event of an intruder, hostile parent, act of violence or threats.

Breakthrough text-to-speech technology from Alertus allows for Alert Beacons to be tied into schools' voice public address system and empowering district administrators and local public safety officials to command the intercoms of each school from offsite locations with critical alert information or district wide announcements.  A highly cost effective solution is achieved by maximizing existing infrastructure.

A wide range of peripheral devices are available to cover outdoor alerting requirements.  Automated alerts from sources such as the National Weather Service and AWS Weatherbug can help ensure timely notification of imminent tornados or lightning alerts.
