Addressing the challenge of enabling silent panic or discreet communication during emergencies in schools involves several hurdles.
Navigating the Digital Divide
Many schools may not have access to or have implemented technology that allows for silent, discreet communication of distress signals. Without devices or systems specifically designed for this purpose, students and staff might find it difficult to alert authorities without attracting unwanted attention in dangerous situations.
Building Confidence Under Pressure
Even if the appropriate technology is in place, the effectiveness of silent panic systems depends heavily on whether students and staff are adequately trained to use them. Lack of training or awareness about how and when to use these systems can hinder their effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
An Optimized User Interface
In high-stress situations, the usability and accessibility of silent panic systems are critical. These systems must be intuitively designed and easily accessible to be used effectively by individuals in distress. Challenges arise if the systems are too complicated or if not everyone is able to access them quickly when needed.
Ensuring System Integrity
For silent panic systems to be effective, they must be reliable and well-maintained. This requires ongoing technical support and regular testing, which can be challenging for schools already strapped for resources. If these systems fail to work correctly during an actual emergency, the safety of students and staff could be compromised.
A Tailored Safety Solution
CrisisGo offers a comprehensive suite of tools and devices designed to support every stakeholder, featuring over 65+ integrations that work together to create a unified and holistic safety system.
The CrisisGo App simplifies the process of running drills; users can initiate a drill by simply marking the alert as a “drill,” allowing them to execute it as they would in a real emergency, without involving emergency services. Additionally, comprehensive training is provided to ensure all staff are proficient in utilizing the full range of features offered by our solutions.
All of our solutions are designed from the ground up, with our customers’ feedback in mind. This helps us create solutions like our panic buttons to be simple and intuitive. Most of our panic buttons operate with a 2 stage operation: 1) Staff assist with 3 clicks, 2) Lockdown with 7 clicks. With these two simple operations anyone can confidently send alerts easily and get the help they need.
As an Advanced Technology and Public Safety Partner of AWS, CrisisGo works closely with AWS each year to strengthen and secure our platform’s resilience and robustness. This collaboration ensures that our alert delivery mechanism is both dependable and consistently reliable. Additionally, each release of CrisisGo's app undergoes FirstNet's thorough security review, underscoring our commitment to security. This verification confirms that our app adheres to the strict standards required for public safety communication tools.
