Mass Notification from Inova Solutions

Emergency Notification and Campus Security

Nothing is more important than campus security, and colleges and universities must be prepared to deliver emergency notification messages at a moment's notice. That's why emergency managers at top universities like Virginia Tech trust Inova Solutions to be part of their mass notification system.

Inova's reliable emergency alert system utilizes LED displays to broadcast informational and directional messages during a crisis. The displays fill an important gap in many school's emergency notification strategy by reaching groups in classrooms, libraries, and other captive spaces where cell phone use/text messaging is often not permitted.

When not in use for an emergency, Inova's emergency alert system can be used for routine announcements such as bus schedules, event reminders, or other official school business. The signs also offer a synchronized time and date display, bringing daily value to your campus community.

Some of Inova's mass notification displays are powered by your network, which reduces energy consumption, increases system security, and eliminates the need for costly and cumbersome AC outlet installation.

The Need for Effective Mass Notification

"The principle need at the core of any mass notification system is to effectively communicate vital information instantly. The severity of this requirement has become more evident in recent years with a rise in campus violence across the country. As a result, higher education and law enforcement communities have united in their commitment to create a more secure environment with the proper mass notification tools in place should an incident occur."


— Berkly Trumbo, Director of Emergency Notification Systems, Inova Solutions

Emergency Notification Message Board Deployment

Many emergency management officials at 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 mass notification system in the most effective way.

Visual message boards from Inova Solutions are designed for easy deployment and integration with other means of mass notification. A phased deployment, as outlined in the latest position paper in the Emergency Notification series, will ensure a seamless and successful mass notification system implementation.

An excerpt from the white paper

"Deciding to implement a visual mass notification system is only the first step. Once the lengthy process of budget approval and vendor bidding is complete, focus must shift to appropriate system deployment – including installation, testing and maintenance. Even the best notification system on the market loses its effectiveness if deployed incorrectly or inefficiently."
