Mountain View, CA, September 23, 2024 — CrisisGo, a leader in emergency communication and school safety solutions, has partnered with RapidDeploy, the leading cloud-native solution provider for public safety, to deliver an integrated solution that streamlines CrisisGo’s emergency alerts, including those triggered by panic buttons, directly to 911 call takers through RapidDeploy’s Radius Mapping platform, ensuring the fastest possible response.
With increasing safety demands in schools, including compliance with panic button mandates such as Alyssa's Law, this integration ensures that when a panic alert is triggered through CrisisGo, RapidDeploy’s Radius Mapping platform immediately connects the triggered alert to the appropriate 911 PSAP for response.
Through RapidDeploy’s utilization of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), a standardized messaging format that ensures consistent and accurate transmission of emergency alerts across various networks, RapidDeploy quickly processes and displays panic button signals and enables panic button providers, such as CrisisGo, to quickly and easily integrate with public safety answer points. This new integration increases the speed and accuracy of emergency response by providing real-time situational awareness to first responders and school safety teams alike.
Key Benefits of the CrisisGo and RapidDeploy Integration:
Our collaboration with RapidDeploy marks a significant leap in school safety and emergency management. By integrating our alert system with RapidDeploy’s next generation 911 technology, we are empowering communities to respond faster and more efficiently during emergencies. This integration gives school safety teams and first responders the tools they need to protect lives and make informed decisions in real time.
