Chesapeake ASSP Hybrid Lunch & Learn

Topic Saving Lives with Rapid Emergency Response Systems

• A review of the current demand for safety from not only emergencies such as active shooter, but also medical emergencies.
• The importance of notification to stakeholders and first responders (police and / or medical and/or HazMat, etc.)  that is automatic, immediate and simultaneous.
• Why traditional monitoring or simply calling 911 is not adequate.
• Overview of the equipment and devices, and what about them ensures reliability and the ability to function when needed.
• Case studies and actual success stories of lives being saved.
• An actual demonstration of the technology for everyone who is willing to share their name and cell phone number so that during the demonstration they can see the technology work right on their phone – regardless of they are attending in person or participating virtually.  (the list of names and cell phone numbers need to be provided by May 15, 2025, so that they can loaded into the demo system so everyone can participate in the demonstration; also the list of names and cell phones would be deleted right after the demonstration)
