Most of us\u00a0read the news\u00a0on a daily basis. There are more violent crimes and\u00a0terrorist attacks in the news than anything else. Not just in the United States, but in other countries as well. That is a scary revelation in my opinion. Just the thought that an ordinary day at the office could quickly turn into a day the world will never forget. That is what makes alert buttons for safety and security the way to go.<\/p>\n

During 9\/11,\u00a0Not one single\u00a0victim of that tragedy ever thought that on September 11, 2001, their lives would be ended by a\u00a0terrorist. Since then, many companies have been taking initiatives to provide a more secure workplace for their employees, but is it enough?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Community Response Systems<\/a>\u00a0was built on the fact that ordinary traditional alert buttons are\u00a0no longer a viable security measure. Many security\u00a0products have moved into the 21st century using the advancements of technology as their base. We thought the panic button should be one of them. Granted, there\u00a0are no save all security products out there. However, there are a lot of advanced tools that can be used in sync with each other to create a more secure environment.<\/p>\n

Violent crimes are at the forefront of today\u2019s society. Many people feel unsafe doing the same mundane tasks of several years ago. Alert buttons can help give people peace of mind just in case a critical situation may arise.<\/p>\n

Alert Buttons Over Traditional Notification Systems?<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\n<\/strong>Traditional notification systems often become\u00a0outdated relatively quickly. These types of notification systems\u00a0can be rather expensive to install. The construction alone can disrupt daily activities and decrease productivity within your facility. Furthermore, these traditional alert buttons do not offer free system updates or rapid mass notification. These small details could leave you with a system that renders your facility vulnerable.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, alert buttons are most often able to adapt to your security needs. Alert buttons, when incorporated into an active\u00a0crisis incident response plan<\/a>\u00a0can save lives. Also, these wireless panic button programs are always evolving, while striving to increase workplace safety. A security panic button program is rather inexpensive, which will not drain your company budget. Saving money is always a plus for every company.<\/p>\n

Does Technology Offer Solutions for Alert Buttons?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes!\u00a0 Technology has caught up and revolutionized the way people respond to situations.\u00a0 The increase in global in domestic terrorism creates a clear and imminent need to have alert buttons.\u00a0 People believe mobile apps are the cure all for these types of situations. However, an app is not solely the best option.\u00a0 Think about if there was an emergency. Would you have time to find your phone, open it, and locate the app to raise a panic?\u00a0 Phone app alert buttons focus more on individuals rather than buildings and people\u00a0inside.\u00a0 The key for an effective panic button for offices is to lower the notification time to responders and to integrate\u00a0internal and external<\/u> notification.\u00a0 Integrating\u00a0internal and external notification<\/a>\u00a0means that it notifies everyone within the office while alerting responders at the same time.\u00a0 Internal and external notification should be merged into the push of a button.<\/p>\n

How Do Alert buttons Notify First Responders?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This type of notification varies from company to company.\u00a0 Most traditional alert buttons are directed\u00a0to the local 911 center for that business.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the phone calls through the old school alert buttons can take a couple of minutes. Many phone apps and computer-based alert buttons have to get local first responders or 911 centers on board to start any notification. We built the CRS Notify system to make an\u00a0E911 call\u00a0to\u00a0local first responders\u00a0and ten automated voice calls to any responders you wish. Responders will receive notifications with the locations name, address, and alert topic when the button is initiated.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In closing, alert buttons can be used in just about every industry \u2013 everything from schools, churches, gas stations, everything. Businesses that are physically isolated are also good candidates for alert buttons. According to\u00a0OSHA<\/a>, nearly 2 million American workers reported being a victim of\u00a0workplace violence<\/a> each year. No one is immune to workplace violence; alert buttons will help decrease the odds of becoming a victim.<\/p>\n
