College Campuses & UNIVERSITIES
There are over 100 dormitories, classrooms, lecture halls and administration buildings on campus, housing up to 25,000 students at any given time.
How can we effectively communicate instructions and information to University Officials, emergency responders, students, faculty, employees, and family of the university, so that they can take immediate action to protect themselves from this carnage?
Micro-News Network has an Emergency Communication Solution, which enables you to provide timely, accurately, area specific, targeting information to those who need to know, when they need to know it. Our ability to aggregate existing communication tools such as:
- Phone banks
- Email accounts
- Text-pagers
- Cell phones
- Public address systems
- Sirens
- Emergency responder networks
MNN provides a high degree of confidence that timely and consistent information will be received by all concerned. This is done by utilizing a software technology, which has a single-point of information input, which effectively delivers to multiple devices instantaneously.
Micro-News Network also provides a proprietary receiver, which is independent of all other second and third party providers. This additional layer of protection provides an "always on" capability, regardless of the presence of existing power and existing second and third-party services.
We have been offering this service prior to the events at Virginia Tech. However, it is possible that, had this system been in place that week at Virginia Tech, necessary information about the initial dormitory killings might have been sent more efficiently to many critical locations or individuals. Had the identity of the suspect been determined at the initial crime scene, a detailed warning message might have been sent to a specific list of departments, classrooms, teachers, classmates - anyone likely to come in contact with the suspect.
There certainly is no guarantee that the MNN emergency notification system would have prevented a second wave of killings and injuries. However, the immediate, specific and targeted notification of those most likely to be affected might have significantly impacted the final outcome.
