Elmore Schools Plan for Emergencies

Elmore County Schools operates 15 schools and over 10,000 students. Recently it implemented the Cistera Event Alerting and Notification solution:

To verify the effectiveness of Cistera's Event Alerting and Notification solution in a simulated emergency, administrators recently conducted a successful training exercise focused on a campus intruder scenario at one of the district's middle schools.

"We are very happy with the features and capabilities of Cistera's Event Alerting and Notification solution, and we use them on a daily basis," said Davis Brock, director of technology for the school system. "But the success of the drill reinforced our overall satisfaction and peace-of-mind that we have a reliable communications system in place to share important information if we are faced with an emergency."

Event alerting and notification is now a best practice for the delivery of an ip communications system. Elmore is another example of this.
