Computer pop-up messaging allows this Northern California hospital to send targeted emergency alerts to specific groups at specific locations, as well as reach staff members in remote buildings.
Even PDAs and cell phones leave an emergency response-security void when absent or ignored. Wireless PA systems compatible with two-way radios can economically compensate for this weakness.
Shortly after the Virginia Tech mass shooting, the University of Maryland adopted a text message emergency alert system. Nearly three years after its deployment, Campus Safety checks in with the school to see how the technology has fared.
