About Active Defender
Imagine there is an emergency at a school or a business. During emergencies, there can be a lot of chaos and confusion.
Active Defender provides a real-time emergency map that removes the confusion. Everyone can know where to go and what to do regardless of the emergency.
IMPORTANT!
To use this app in your school or business, make sure they have a cooperate Active Defender account. You will get a login from your school or school district to fully login, connect, and participate with this app.
Active Defender can INSTANTLY provide a multistory emergency map:
To First Responders
To Students
To Staff
To Vistors
Everyone can know what to do and where to go!
Active Defender’s purpose is to provide clarity and remove chaos while making sure everyone knows what the problem is and where the problem is relative to where they are located. WHY? Because you only make good decisions based on what you know and where you are.
Focus on “safety and security is everyone’s responsibility.”
Whether there is a fight, fire, active shooter, medical emergency, or extreme weather event, Active-Defender gives real-time, life-saving information to everyone that needs to know.
Active-Defender allows you to:
- Warn other staff members, school resource officers, and first responders with the touch of a button that an emergency is taking place.
- Receive map alerts as to the exact nature and location of the crisis.
- Use the chat window to engage in real-time communication with responders.
- Provide details to others on your campus while simultaneously giving first responders the information they need to respond with speed and precision.
