Because of the prevalence of bullying and violent incidents, such as Columbine and Sandy Hook, it is vital that schools have fast and efficient emergency communications to save lives. No single technology can meet all of the communication needs of deaf & blind schools - whether they're emergency or everyday communications. Thus, MessageNet's SEMS mass notification system combines many different customizable, ADA-compliant technologies to better fit the unique needs of each deaf and blind school.
Because SEMS is not just an emergency mass notification system, it can also be used for everyday deaf & blind communications, such as audio/visual bell schedules and morning announcements. SEMS can also serve as a valuable teaching tool that has particular value in the mainstreamed hard-of-hearing educational environment. In particular, it has won high praise for being able to facilitate a bilingual approach to teaching American Sign Language along with English.
