Schools Respond to Emergencies Faster with 4g

Schools Respond to Emergencies Faster with 4g

Since the tragedy of the school shootings in Columbine High School and the university shooting at Virginia Tech, many educational administrators and teachers have tried to come up with innovative ways to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again. While this kind of violence is not predictable nor is it necessarily preventable, there are ways that students and school workers can be better mobilized and better protected when emergencies happen. The integration of communication technologies has been useful in helping school officials think about how best to mobilize large student bodies in the case of an emergency like Columbine. First there were alarms and drills, then there were mass text messaging alerts, and now schools are using 4g technologies to their advantage to alert students and staff about pending emergencies.

It has become essential, since the many high profile school shootings around the country, for educational institutions to put effective emergency plans into place. All of these institutions are dealing with young populations, whether they are high school students or university students. In knowing this, many schools have moved towards integrating wireless internet technologies into their emergency plans. Administrators and teachers are well aware that young people today use internet as their main means of communication. Young people today are constantly connected to the internet and they are receiving updates about their friends, their favorite bands, and the blogs they follow by the minute on their mobile phones and 4g capable devices.

Adults who work in schools have caught on to this and are moving towards using this form of communication to send messages and information about emergency situations within schools systems. Today, many institutions have enabled this technology to work in their schools, equipping teachers, administrators and student leaders with mobile devices so that they can communicate quickly and efficiently during emergencies.

By using this kind of technology in emergencies, students, administrators and teachers can communicate quickly by sending mass messages and they can also communicate more information, such as the location of the incident or what exactly the emergency is. Loudspeaker announcements and emergency alarms that sound off only succeed in notifying the general population within an institution that an emergency is occurring. However, with the capability of mass messaging with 4g more detailed messages can be sent so that better plans of getting students and staff to safety can be made.

The reality of today is that these acts of violence can happen anywhere, without warning. The only thing that schools and universities can do to protect their students and staff is to be equipped with an emergency plan that is effective and preserves the safety of as many people as possible. 4g has been shown to be an effective way to mobilize people quickly by giving staff and student leaders the information needed to get people to safety. It is the fastest way to communicate and it is by far the best way to reach young people, no matter where they are on the campuses when the emergency occurs. It allows people to be up to date on the situation at hand and better prepared in the face of such unexpected acts of violence.
