During a severe weather emergency, campuses with SMS text alert systems must send an alert to everyone in their database, whether or not those recipients are in a danger area. Technology under development could change that.
Manufacturers, software developers and integrators are working hard to develop ways campus alert solutions can interoperate and notify campus constituents in a more timely fashion.
Here are the responses to questions asked by the audience during the ‘Emergency Response and Communications – How to Incorporate a Holistic Approach on Your Campus’ webinar.
The Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) was activated nationwide this past weekend, enabling federal, state, territorial, tribal and local government officials to send 90-character, geographically-targeted text alerts to the public, warning of imminent threats to life and property. Here are some of the system’s pros and cons.
Changing vendors and technology midway through the project slowed the process.
Emergency planning, stadium security, and enforcing good spectator conduct through PA and video board announcements as well as a texting system will help keep your sporting events riot free.
In this webinar, attendees will learn the observable behaviors people exhibit as they head down a path of violence so we can help prevent the preventable.
This discussion will help participants analyze, understand, and assess their own program effectiveness.
