SchoolDude Launches CrisisManager, a New Mobile Safety Platform for K-12 and Higher Education Institutions
CARY, N.C. (PRWEB) October 01, 2014 -- To help ensure schools and colleges have mobile-enabled emergency response plans, SchoolDude, a leading provider of operations management solutions, today unveiled CrisisManager, a new mobile safety platform.
SchoolDude launched CrisisManager to help guarantee emergency plans and safety procedures are immediately and readily available to K-12 and higher education institutions via mobile devices at all times. CrisisManager’s safety plans, accessible to individuals with or without a Wi-Fi connection, are fully customizable based on an organization’s needs and/or scenario, e.g., severe weather, school delays/cancellations, violence, and can be updated at any time.
“The unfortunate reality is that school emergencies happen and while most schools have detailed safety plans, they aren’t easily accessible during a crisis situation,” said Lee Prevost, president of SchoolDude. “CrisisManager takes those plans, many of them currently paper-based, and makes them dynamic and actionable on the mobile devices of staff, faculty and even for students in colleges and universities.”
With CrisisManager, organizations can:
• Publish custom and secure safety plans and procedures to smartphones
• Update plans as often as needed
• Send push notifications to users to alert and inform
• Offer incident reporting, including photos and GPS location
Individuals can access building diagrams and maps and utilize one-tap emergency contact calling through the app or mobile-enabled platform. Plans are password-protected and only shared with individuals based on their roles and responsibilities within the organization.
SchoolDude serves more than 6,000 school districts, independent and private schools, colleges and universities – and more than 25 percent of the public K-12 districts in the U.S. use SchoolDude’s management solutions.
