Technology plays a critical role in the safety of organizations, government entities, and school administrations. Thousands of organizations worldwide trust the Alertus System to keep their people safe during emergencies, including armed shooter incidents, natural disaster-related events, terrorist threats, chemical spills, health outbreaks, and more.
For 20+ years, Alertus has delivered innovative solutions to help organizations across industries mitigate risk and communicate effectively during emergencies. Within this blog, we’ll discuss what innovative technologies are on the rise in 2025 and how Alertus can help you stay ahead of this year’s predicted trends.
No. 1 Automated 911 Calls
The importance of streamlined workflows, including automated 911 calls, will continue to rise in 2025. Alertus 911 Connect enables Education and Commercial customers to automatically and directly contact emergency responders when activating their Alertus System during an emergency. This automation strengthens operations and leads to business continuity and faster response times.
Implementing automated 911 calls can improve organizations' emergency response by efficiently routing calls to the appropriate responders and providing crucial caller information, such as location. This automation can be life-saving in urgent situations, especially when a caller cannot communicate clearly or talk loudly to dispatchers.
Users can utilize Alertus 911 Connect to activate their Alertus System via panic buttons and mobile notification apps to automatically notify emergency services of an incident.
No. 2 Real-time, Two-Way Communication
Efficiency is essential as emergency response teams face an increasing frequency and severity of crises. Integrating two-way chat into your mass notification system can provide immediate, reliable communication between individuals.
AlertAware® Mobile’s emergency and incident reporting feature puts a mobile panic button in your pocket. Whenever an emergency or incident report is triggered, the organization or the reporting individual can initiate a two-way chat with the AlertAware administration team.
In addition to integrated two-way chat, which enables faster response times, better team coordination, and the real-time sharing of critical information, organizations can utilize AlertAware Mobile to reach every corner of their facility and/or grounds through incident reporting, photo upload, location tracking, and full Alertus System activation.
Use the AlertAware Mobile App to activate the Alertus System and integrated devices at the press of a button.
Technology will continue to influence the world in 2025, and it’s important to consider how these solutions could protect your staff, students, or employees in an emergency. To learn more about Alertus products or jumpstart your mass notification plan, schedule a demo with one of our experts!
