ENHANCING EDUCATION AND SAFETY
4
Student and faculty safety is one of the most important issues
facing the education system today. This safety relates to events
that occur on campus as well as events that occur in the
surrounding community. School safety can be linked to adverse
weather conditions like tornadoes or hurricanes as well as
incidents involving weapons or criminals on or near campuses.
While items like natural disasters, school shootings, and hostage
scenarios are a community’s greatest fear, as recent events have
illustrated, the need to have mechanisms in place to protect
the student population when a threat is present has never been
greater.
Unfortunately, no amount of preparedness can prevent all
emergency situations, but GLOBALCOM as part of an overall
administration emergency plan, goes above and beyond in
effectively allowing administrators and school personnel to
appropriately respond during crises.
The most critical component of any emergency plan is communication. Getting an alert and instruction to
those affected is the first step to ensuring their safety. GLOBALCOM uses a web based interface that allows
administrators and teachers with access the ability to launch predefined weather or safety related as well as
ad-hoc messages through the schools paging system to alert students and faculty of the emergency situation
facing the school. In addition to these messages, GLOBALCOM can also deliver additional pre-recorded and
stored information including instructions based on the school’s emergency plan and directions to areas of safety
like designated tornado shelters or other secured areas.
Additionally, GLOBALCOM offers schools additional
means to communicate with students, faculty, and parents
when appropriate. GLOBALCOM can incorporate optional
visual paging displays. These displays can provide visual
confirmation of the alert for hearing impaired individuals
but also reinforces the alert and gives students and faculty
a secondary source of information in case they were not
paying attention to the audio page. System administrators
also have the ability to send SMS messages to students,
faculty, and parents that are registered in the GLOBALCOM
system with the same alerts so that everyone knows what
is going on and panic can be avoided and student safety
can be maximized.
Finally, GLOBALCOM includes an in-classroom safety feature that allows a teacher to alert the administrators
or safety personnel that a dangerous or emergency situation has arisen in a classroom through a non-verbal
network message ensuring the safety of all present in that classroom. GLOBALCOM is a comprehensive
communication solution designed to provide instant and effective communication campus wide no matter what
the emergency situation is ensuring that students and faculty on campus as well as parents off campus can
remain informed and safe.
