RapidDeploy – Strengthen school emergency response

IntegrationsLocation Mapping911 PSAP Reach

Solution

RapidDeploy is the leader in cloud-native technology solutions for public safety. The collaboration between RapidDeploy and Singlewire Software enables Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to seamlessly integrate panic button alert notifications from InformaCast into RapidDeploy’s Radius Mapping platform. Data from InformaCast panic button notifications, which can include location information, is delivered to local 911 agencies when a panic alarm is activated, enhancing situational awareness and expediting emergency response efforts during school-related incidents.

Benefits

This integration expands InformaCast’s ability to deliver relevant response information to the PSAP. The aim is to empower public safety to respond swiftly and effectively to critical incidents, enhancing the safety and security of students, faculty, and staff. Mobile panic buttons offer an easy-to-use and immediate way to alert others of an incident. Information associated with an individual panic button provides crucial context for first responders to provide swift assistance during a crisis. The integration meets immediate needs to align with school safety regulations, such as Alyssa’s Law, by delivering enhanced emergency 911 response capabilities to schools.

Use Cases

RapidDeploy and Singlewire Software help schools strengthen their safety and communication strategies and can be used to meet the requirements of Alyssa’s Law. RapidDeploy can be used in conjunction with InformaCast to share information about:

  • Lockdowns
  • Active shooters
  • Medical emergencies
  • And other incidents that require outside assistance
