When a school faces a lockdown scenario — whether prompted by an intruder, threat of violence, or other imminent risk — the speed, clarity, and coordination of response matter more than ever. Standard lockdown procedures (lock doors, bring students inside, evade sight lines, stay quiet) are critical. But to elevate beyond a purely manual protocol, leveraging a dedicated system such as Incident Aware brings a new level of situational awareness, automation, and accountability.
Incident Aware allows staff to instantly trigger lockdown alerts and notify administrators, security, and first responders through multiple channels—mobile, desktop, and overhead paging. Each alert includes precise location details, giving responders immediate awareness of where help is needed.
During the lockdown, staff can share real-time updates, notes, and images, while leadership tracks the event through a live dashboard. Once resolved, a full incident record supports compliance reviews and procedural improvements.
Integrated with existing phone and paging systems, Incident Aware ensures faster communication, consistent messaging, and stronger coordination—helping schools protect students and staff when it matters most.
