  • Best Practices for a Safe Environment

    Last week, I wrote about how important it is to have a plan for emergency events. More lives are saved when a plan is in place and everyone knows what to do, rather than simply reacting to the situation.

  • Don’t Be Surprised by Emergencies

    While everyone hopes that emergency situations don’t arise, it’s important to not let one take you by surprise.

In situations with an active shooter, locking the door is one of the quickest things to do for people to protect themselves, but it’s often not enough. A locked…

Automating weather alert messages also precludes any customization from the message, so…
