One of our clients is a large corporation with many remote manufacturing facilities. Because of this they have a unique emergency communications system. This client adopted a hub and spoke model for emergency communications. They have a centrally located command center connecting the facilities. If there is an emergency, the procedure is to call the command center. The command center personnel assess the level of emergency and take the appropriate action needed. It may be a call to 911 and/or issue their own alerts that are sent out to the entire building network. The system runs on a supervised redundant network so that all the facilities are connected with emergency overhead.

In loud environments, visual communication for emergency notification is needed. Many facilities choose strobes for emergency communication. Some schools install amber and blue strobes in the hallways which indicate severe weather or emergencies. In very loud in spaces such as gymnasiums or band rooms, overhead paging can get masked. Strobes can notify students and staff to quiet down and listen to the emergency page. These notifications can be triggered by the Carehawk paging system through programming. The combination of visual and audible messaging increases the possibility of people reacting to the emergency more quickly. Visual messaging also benefits students or staff with hearing impairments. The same type of notifications can.
Emergency notification systems are vital to life safety in schools. There are emergency pages, strobes, alarm systems and emergency texts. But what else can you do? One option is adding digital signage in schools to convey emergency notifications. New school designs might include an all IP-based system. This will allow for the integration of audio pages with visual messaging on digital signage. Digital displays in schools can have several kinds of messages. The display can inform staff and students about school events, lunch menus etc. But it can also be used for emergency notification in the event of a lockdown..
