Alertus + Raptor Technologies
Seconds matter in an emergency, and schools should have every possible way to get urgent, life-saving information to their students, teachers, and staff. The Raptor Alert and Alertus integration creates an interconnected ecosystem that automates and expands emergency communications across existing infrastructure, accelerating response coordination and enhancing situational awareness during critical incidents.
Enhance Your School’s Emergency Preparedness
The partnership between Raptor and Alertus creates a comprehensive communication solution for K-12 schools and districts seeking an integrated platform for multi-layered emergency communication.
Satisfy Alyssa’s Law
Notify first responders of an emergency with silent panic button options, such as the Alertus WiFi Panic Button (available for purchase through Raptor).
Effective Alerting
Strengthen alerting, response, and recovery efforts by reducing response times, solidifying stakeholder responsibilities, and mitigating community risks.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Leverage existing communication assets like PA systems and desktop computers, while simultaneously addressing notification gaps with industry-leading alerting devices.
Alertus WiFi Panic Button
When selecting panic buttons, K-12 schools must evaluate distinct security needs such as existing infrastructure, facility layout, and student and faculty counts. Integrated through Raptor Connect, the Alertus WiFi Panic Button lets staff instantly initiate emergency workflows and rapidly alert responders and school personnel.
