Rapid Emergency Response System (RERS)

April 17, 2015

BluePoint Alert Solutions announced one of the industry's first Rapid Emergency Response System (RERS) that is specifically designed to speed the response times of law enforcement/first responders and notify building occupants when life-threatening incidents occur within schools and other facilities. Similar to a standard "fire alarm," occupants can activate a BluePoint pull station and instantly notify police of an emergency situation to expedite a rapid response. It also communicates internally to initiate emergency management protocols that are proven to save lives in times of chaos and crisis. BluePoint complements physical security systems and addresses the growing need to speed response times when an organization's most valuable asset - its people - are in harm's way.

BluePoint uses a highly secure 900 MHz wireless network that is completely dedicated to response alerts and is independent of other building systems. The wireless system covers the entire building or campus, plus any surrounding areas (parking lots, athletic fields, etc.). Once a wearable mobile device or pull station sensor is activated, an alert from monitoring partner EMERgency24 is immediately sent to local law enforcement with the building address and exact incident location using Visual Point Identification (VPI) technology. At the same time, building occupants are instantly notified to take precautions through PA or phone systems and mobile phones, as well as blue strobe lights inside and outside the building. It sends building occupants, security professionals and administrators a text and/or email notifications, as well as voice calls with pertinent data. The system also establishes a two-way communications flow between a central command group and building occupants. This automation helps panicked personnel act swiftly and reduces the response time of both law enforcement and building occupants.
