A Holistic Approach to Mass Notification

Many universities are responding to demands from government, administrators and parents to implement effective emergency mass notification plans. Since there is not just one way to reach people during a crisis, IT Managers are turning to a multi-tiered approach to mass notification.

Berkly Trumbo, Director of Emergency Communication Systems at Inova Solutions, discusses this in his recent position paper: A Holistic Approach to Mass Notification: The role of visual alerting and smart LED signage in emergency situations on university campuses.

The Instant Notification Imperative

Due to recent legislation, higher education institutions are required to instantly notify campus communities of any situation that threatens their health or safety. This legislation highlights the importance of a timely response to emergencies as well as the repercussions if guidelines are not followed.
