Key Points:
“Active shooter incidents have become a growing crisis across the United States, occurring in schools, businesses, and public spaces. With over 600 mass shootings in 2023 alone, these tragedies leave communities in fear and law enforcement scrambling to respond. The need for rapid communication, accurate information, and effective coordination has never been more urgent to prevent and mitigate these devastating events.”
“NextGen 9-1-1 i3 brings critical advancements in emergency response by enabling dispatchers to receive detailed data like room and floor numbers during emergencies. It supports real-time text and video, enhancing communication between those on-site and first responders. This technology can help streamline response efforts in critical incidents, providing faster and more accurate information to save lives.”
“Tornadoes are on the rise in many states, creating widespread destruction and affecting large numbers of people inside buildings. In these natural disasters, NextGen 9-1-1 tools that provide precise floor and room numbers are invaluable. This detailed information helps first responders navigate damaged structures more efficiently, locate those in need, and improve response times during these life-threatening events.”
“GIS mapping is revolutionizing emergency response by giving PSAPs, law enforcement, and first responders detailed access to building layouts. Companies like NextGen 911 Maps can create and submit these maps, integrating them into Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems. This ensures responders have room-by-room and floor-by-floor information, improving efficiency and accuracy during emergencies like active shooter situations or natural disasters.”
“At NextGen 911 Maps, we install QR codes next to exits of classrooms, offices, or any room required to have a fire map. These QR codes act as a panic button, allowing anyone to quickly scan and send critical information. By scanning, first responders immediately receive details on how many people are inside, helping them make faster, informed decisions during emergencies.”
“Seventeen states now support text messaging at 911 call centers, a crucial tool in emergencies like active shooter events where staying quiet can save lives. Texting allows people to report emergencies without making noise, creating a safer way to reach help in extreme situations. By leveraging text, we enable more discreet communication, improving safety for those in dangerous environments.”
“Our tool connects teachers, principals, and faculty through a central database, enabling real-time communication during emergencies. In an active shooter event or natural disaster, instructions and updates are sent via text to all personnel, and we track every interaction. This allows us to reconstruct the events and provide detailed reports and metrics, giving valuable insights into what happened during the incident or drill, improving preparedness and response for future emergencies.”
“Active shooter events are thankfully rare, but lockdowns are more frequent. Our tool automatically sends critical information to faculty and senior staff via text, ensuring rapid communication. While the system can also use email, text messaging is more pervasive and reliable. By combining these technologies, we provide a high level of security and ensure information is delivered quickly and effectively during lockdowns.”
“Lockdowns happen frequently, and during these events, parents and loved ones need information quickly. With NG911, we track who’s involved in the emergency, their location inside the building, and when they’ve reached the safe zone. During active shooter situations, police often conduct a ‘warm evacuation,’ clearing the building before neutralizing the threat. Time is critical, and our system ensures constant communication via text with teachers and room leaders, keeping everyone informed and safe.”
