School safety is more than just preparing for emergencies – it’s about maintaining security every single day. Schools face a wide range of safety challenges, from managing daily incidents like medical emergencies or unauthorized visitors to handling more serious crises such as severe weather or security threats. Limited resources, communication breakdowns, and delayed responses can all heighten risks for students, staff, and visitors.
Intrado Safety Suite provides the tools schools need to manage everything during an emergency. With instant alerts, integrated emergency responses, and robust communication tools, Intrado is always there when it matters most, helping schools stay safe and prepared year-round.
Here are four key ways schools can enhance safety with Intrado’s campus solutions:
Wearable Panic Button for Instant Alerts
In any emergency, every second counts. Intrado’s Wearable Panic Button gives school staff the ability to immediately notify personnel and authorities with the push of a button. Whether it’s a medical emergency, security threat, or any other incident, this simple tool helps teachers, staff, and administrators to act quickly.
Key Benefits:
-
Instant notification to on-site staff and emergency responders
-
Discreet design allows for quick response without causing panic
-
Perfect for both small-scale incidents (like student injuries) and larger emergencies (like active shooters)
Enhanced Location Tracking for Faster Response
When emergencies take place, clear communication with 911 is crucial. With Intrado’s E911 (Enterprise 911) solutions, schools can provide first responders with precise location data. Traditional 911 calls might struggle to identify specific room locations or areas within large buildings, but E911 can help responders know where to go.
Key Benefits:
-
Provides accurate location data down to room level within the school
-
Reduces response time by eliminating confusion about where help is needed
-
Seamless integration with existing communication systems

Intrado Revolution allows schools to send mass notifications across various channels – whether it’s a campus-wide lockdown, weather alert, or important school announcement. Revolution integrates with your existing systems and can distribute alerts via email, text, phone calls, digital signage, and more.
Key Benefits:
