bringing it all together

How important are thorough communication methods in or out of emergency situations?

Obviously, the answer is that they are extremely important. 

Strictly speaking of common communication methods we might find in schools there will be:

• PA Systems
  
• Phones throughout the school
  
• Email
  
• IM Platforms (Slack, Skype, GroupMe, etc.)
  

For emergency measures you might find:

• Smoke or Carbon Monoxide Detectors
  
• Gunshot detectors
  
• Remote locking doors
  
• Emergency protocols for different scenarios printed out in each room. 
  

All of these things listed above are absolutely fantastic, but how do you tie them all together?

The answer is DIR-S. 

DIR-S allows schools and other organizations to connect base users, administrators, and responders no matter what kind of situation you might be facing. 

They are then able to combine their emergency systems and protocols with a groundbreaking communication platform. This allows organizations to deal with emergency situations faster than ever before.
