​How do you keep panic down and everyone connected and safe? DIR-S has the answer for you. Read the following case study from a recent incident at a school that is secured by DIR-S to see how they were able to keep everyone connected, calm, and safe while dealing with the situation and getting responders to the school. 

Names and locations changed for privacy. 

2:30 p.m. EVACUATE alert initiated by Site Admin (Principal), Redmond Holt. 
2:31 p.m. (Dispatch): Fire department is on the way. 
2:32 p.m. (Principal): Teachers make sure and check in on DIR-S and update your location when you get to your assigned evacuation locations. 
2:38 p.m. (Principal): Fire Department is on the scene and clearing the building. Everyone stands by for all clear to reenter the building. 

Thankfully, the situation was resolved promptly, and teachers and students were able to resume normal operations shortly after. 

In a school environment of hundreds of students and teachers in so many different rooms, it can be difficult to handle these types of situations. Because of DIR-S, this school was able to resolve the issue in a matter of minutes
