Carousel Digital Signage has recently collaborated with CrisisGo, revolutionizing the way emergency alerts are delivered in K-12 schools and businesses. Through an open API integration, digital displays can now showcase emergency alerts and safety messages with immediate effect. This partnership enables Carousel Cloud digital signage networks to trigger visual alerts, interactive maps, and more using the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), a global standard for exchanging emergency alerts across various networks.
CrisisGo’s Safety iResponse platform offers a robust suite of advanced alerting software and tools tailored to enhance safety measures within school districts. From real-time alerting and incident management to parent notification, these features collectively empower schools to respond swiftly and efficiently in times of crisis. Moreover, the platform ensures seamless communication with local law enforcement agencies, facilitating prompt assistance when required.
With both software platforms operating on a shared IT network, monitoring incoming triggers from Safety iResponse to Carousel Cloud remains consistent. As soon as an alert is detected, Carousel Cloud prioritizes the active alert for immediate display on all designated screens. Once the situation is resolved, normal operations resume seamlessly, eliminating the need for manual intervention in clearing alerts. This streamlined process expedites the crucial reunification phase, ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, teachers, and staff members.
Jacob Lewis, Chief Security Officer at CrisisGo, emphasizes the distinguishing feature of Carousel Cloud in recognizing an all-clear message, setting it apart from other digital signage solutions. Lewis highlights the system’s ability to identify the nature of the event and precisely determine the target audience for alerts, whether it be select screens, entire campuses, or a multi-campus network. This interoperability aligns with CrisisGo’s multifaceted mass notification strategy, which extends to computers and mobile devices connected to their software.
The partnership between CrisisGo and Carousel Digital Signage signifies a significant advancement in leveraging technology to bolster safety measures in K-12 settings. While K-12 schools remain the primary focus of this integrated solution, there are prospects for expansion into other sectors such as corporate enterprises and manufacturing. Eric Henry, Senior Vice President of Business Architecture at Carousel Digital Signage, underscores the collaboration’s role in enhancing communication and resilience across all educational levels, emphasizing the platform’s capability for immediate dissemination of vital visual alerts.
As Carousel Digital Signage continues to prioritize safety and effective communication in educational environments, the integration with CrisisGo marks a pivotal step towards ensuring the well-being of students and faculty members. By embracing an open platform approach, Carousel Cloud fosters seamless interoperability with CrisisGo, guaranteeing swift dissemination of critical alerts to maintain secure and safe campuses for all.
