Mass Notification for Museums, Theaters, and Performing Arts Centers
From active shooter events to devastating fires, clear, immediate notification during an emergency or critical incident can reduce panic and help reach audience members, visitors, and employees throughout the building. Ensuring your staff is prepared to respond to emergencies with a mass notification system will give them the confidence to react in threatening situations.
The Alertus System helps museums, theaters, and performing arts centers reduce panic and promptly and reliably disseminate potentially life-saving information during an emergency.
Expand Your Reach Throughout the Building
With guests visiting museums, theaters, and performing arts centers, it is important to ensure everyone feels safe—from personnel to visitors. Give your staff peace of mind by giving them ways to call for help, report an incident, or spread critical information.

Leverage Existing Alerting Solutions
The Alertus System’s design has integration in mind. By leveraging legacy systems, museum, and theater emergency personnel can quickly activate and streamline emergency communication and response procedures.
Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) Interface
Theater and museum fires can occur for numerous reasons, including arson, electrical faults, or kitchen accidents that threaten guest and staff safety. Smoke inhalation and burns are significant hazards; therefore, time is of the essence when activating and distributing emergency alerts. The Alertus FACP Interface takes fire alarm event information from the fire panel, applies innovative logic technologies, and broadcasts messages over multiple communication paths.
Digital Signage Override
This integration helps communicate announcements in high-occupancy areas. It is zoneable, so safety personnel can target individual screens or groups of screens to display alerts that display warnings and evacuation information to event guests during a fire or other emergency.
Two-Way Radio Integration
Organizations can instantly send emergency alerts to two-way radio users by leveraging their existing communication investment for a cost-effective solution. With this integration, personnel can use text-to-speech technology to provide emergency communication and situation management to museum or theater security radios.
