White Paper: Deploying Message Boards for Notification

Many colleges and universities recognize that instant, multi-modal communication to students and faculty during an emergency situation will keep their campus community as safe as possible. However, few emergency management personnel know how to deploy a multi-modal notification system in the most effective way.

Mass notification experts agree that an effective emergency communication system must include a visual component. Universities such as Virginia Tech have satisfied this requirement with LED message boards from Inova Solutions.

Selecting a mass notification system is only the first step towards a successful implementation. Mass notification expert Berkly Trumbo compiled an informative list of best practices for deploying emergency notification message boards on college campuses.

Read his whitepaper to learn how:

  • Message boards can help fulfill legal requirements for immediate campus notification
  • A comprehensive needs assessment can help you identify “high risk” areas on campus
  • Digital signage can seamlessly integrate with existing emergency notification systems
  • Pre-defined message composition and protocol can help your campus respond more efficiently to emergencies
