Are You Prepared In Case Of An Emergency?
Today, we are becoming way too familiar with emergency situations happening in schools, universities, and places of business. We often worry about going to places that we should feel safe and secure at. We shouldn’t worry about sending our children to school, going to colleges and universities, or even going to work.
- What if we had a better way of alerting individuals, of an intruder or another emergency?
- What if we had a better way of alerting local police and other officials of an emergency?
- How can we communicate better with a large number of people in various rooms or offices in a location?
- How can we save lives in emergency situations?
Digital signage has the capability to warn everyone at your location of an intruder, or other emergency.
Digital signage is a wonderful tool for communicating and alerting important information to a large number of people at once. Alerting people by delivering emergency alerts quickly could be the difference between life and death. Unlike many other forms of notifications, such as text messages, e-mails, etc., digital signage can publish important information in simply a matter of seconds.
It is important to educate various members of your faculty and staff on how to operate your digital signage software and alert buttons. Therefore, other members of your organization are cross-trained in the event of an emergency.
Make sure that screens are visible and are located in high traffic areas. The more people that are notified of an emergency situation, the less likelihood of fatalities.
With Hypersign, alerts are totally customizable and can include an evacuation route, using a floor plan of the location. This could allow people to escape the building much quicker and in an organized fashion.
