Rave Mobile Safety (Rave) announced availability of Rave Panic Button. Uniquely tying together 9-1-1, first responders and school personnel, Rave Panic Button shortens the time between the onset of an incident and the arrival of first responders on-scene, while improving collaboration during the critical first minutes, allowing for the fastest, most effective crisis resolution possible.
Safety is paramount at today’s educational facilities and corporate campuses. Recent events – including numerous school shootings – have highlighted that rapidly providing accurate information to responders and enabling communication between all parties involved is critical to safely, quickly and effectively resolving incidents. Built on Rave’s public safety grade infrastructure and unique capabilities to integrate with 9-1-1, the solution provides faculty, administrators and employees with a simple, direct and powerful connection to first responders through a “Panic Button” that leverages the ubiquitous mobile phone and existing emergency response communication systems.
