What is your confidence level in employee and visitor safety during an emergency?
Do you know where everyone is? Are they supposed to be where they are? Does your incident commander know where everyone is? Or is that knowledge limited to each sector chief or, worse yet, "siloed" within your facility? How do the first responders access or receive the information? How confident are you in the data's accuracy?
What if you had the highest degree of confidence that the answers to these questions were at your fingertips? You can have accurate data, easily accessed and in the right hands for critical decision making. What if your situational awareness in an emergency could be elevated to a new level? Imagine if you had details about the nature and location of the emergency, the locations and qualifications of critical response personnel, and the location and status of each visitor. Fortunately, there is a solution to get this information when you need it, where you need it and in a format that allows decisive action.
It's all possible with BlackHawk Datacom's Facility Emergency Management Solution (EMS). Facility EMS provides complete access control, video security, mass notification and emergency personnel management joined together in a unified system. Maintaining visibility and communications with all personnel in an industrial multi-unit facility requires best-in-class systems designed for each specific purpose. Traditionally, the challenge has been that these disparate, stand-alone systems must be operated separately or require complex integration, resulting in inflated costs and ongoing support issues. BlackHawk has simplified this process with Facility EMS by leveraging the power of Genetec's Security Center and Mission Control, in FRONT's All Clear, and Lynx Systems' Mass Notification, and tightly integrating all these functions while allowing them to be viewed, controlled, and disseminated in real-time from a central incident command location.
The benefits of BlackHawk Datacom's Facility EMS include:
- Electronic access control.
- Video security.
- Mass notification.
- Personnel emergency management: Mustering, unit accountability and first responder asset tracking.
