How does the Technology work?

One Badge, Two Types of Alerts 

CENTEGIX CrisisAlert is wearable mobile panic button technology that empowers staff to get help instantly in an emergency. With the push of a button, users discreetly alert responders in seconds with precise incident location details.

The primary use of the system is a Level I staff alert – which is a personal request for help by a teacher or staff member to handle day-to-day incidents like medical or behavioral issues. 

Staff Alert (Level I):
The single-button activation alerts local responders and administrators immediately of an “I need help” incident displaying a map showing who has sent the alert and where they’re located on campus. The notification is sent just to onsite responders with the floor and room level location information for the person requesting help. 

Campus-wide Alert (Level II):
Single button, Any staff member can instantly initiate a campus-wide rapid response to emergencies. This type of alert:

• Direct communication to responders
  The system immediately notifies onsite and offsite first responders with floor and room level location of the person who activated the alert in real-time including displaying the alert on a detailed map of the facility/location.
• Activates full audio and visual communication campus-wide so everyone knows the campus is under threat and can get to safety as soon as possible. Level II campus wide alert immediately notifies everyone in the building through strobes, computer screen takeover, and intercom takeover with safety protocol instructions (like get behind a locked door/hard surface). 
• Notifies 911 dispatch with precise location details

This removes critical minutes in the response that traditional phone and voice based alerting mechanisms/systems use.
