Establishing a safe and secure higher education environment for students, faculty, and staff, while encouraging community collaboration is a complex challenge. It can be difficult to know who is on a college or university campus and where they are at any given time. This information is vital during critical events to ensure the correct information is communicated quickly, easily, and reliably to anyone impacted. Campus-wide alerts about emergency situations, school closings, and campus events keep the community informed while empowering students to become partners in their own security, whether they are on campus or off, or even studying overseas. For campus safety and security teams, it’s vital to be able to manage tasks, share response plans, and maintain command and control over response teams during a critical event.
