Emergency Preparedness
Keep your school community informed before, during and after any event.
Message Sender offers you the tools necessary to put in place an effective emergency notification service, yielding an improvement in both campus safety and student communication.
The main ingredients to an emergency plan are prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. Minimizing injury and property damage in an emergency situation is all about careful, meticulous planning. Find roles in the plan for as many people as possible. Keep in close contact with your first responders and take advantage of available technology. Message Sender gives you the ability to maintain communication with people during an emergency. Faculty, staff, students, parents, emergency Responders, and media need up to date information to make informed decisions. No plan can guarantee perfect results, but having no plan at all, increases the chances of a disastrous outcome.
Message Sender was developed for the Educational sector as a tool to assist in the planning and implementation of effective school emergency preparedness programs, yielding an improvement in both campus safety and student communication. A school must develop emergency response and evacuation procedures to immediately notify the campus community upon the affirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees present on campus and off.
