The partnership between American Time and Raptor Technologies represents a pivotal step forward in the realm of emergency response systems, particularly for educational institutions and organizations. By merging American Time's EverAlert communication devices with Raptor Technologies' emergency management platform, the alliance promises to deliver automated, real-time coordination during emergencies. This integration is a direct response to the increasing need for enhanced safety measures and compliance with regulations such as Alyssa's Law, which requires silent panic alert systems to be directly connected to law enforcement.
George Wilkes, President of American Time, emphasized the significance of this partnership, noting its potential to combine two reliable safety solutions for a more efficient emergency response. The integration utilizes Raptor's emergency alerting platform, which is linked to 911 via RapidSOS, alongside American Time's EverAlert system. The EverAlert system is renowned for its capability to issue instant, automated alerts and audiovisual notifications across extensive premises, ensuring that no time is lost during critical situations.
This development is not only crucial for adhering to Alyssa's Law but also supports the Standard Response Protocols (SRP) established by The "I Love U Guys" Foundation. These protocols aim to standardize responses to crises, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of emergency actions. The integration facilitated by American Time and Raptor Technologies is set to minimize response times and improve coordination, thereby elevating the safety standards within institutions.
Managed via the inCloud management portal, the EverAlert system draws on American Time's 45 years of expertise in synchronized facility communication solutions. Since its inception in 2017, the EverAlert system has been adopted by numerous schools and businesses nationwide, addressing their urgent communication needs during emergencies. This partnership highlights the indispensable role of technology in advancing emergency preparedness and response mechanisms, offering schools and organizations a more secure environment for their students and staff.
