Rave Panic Button is a smartphone mobile app. With the push of a button, the Rave Panic Button app immediately dials 9-1-1, while simultaneously sending notifications to people on-site of the incident for a faster and more effective emergency response. The staff assist feature allows authorized employees to communicate non-emergency information to specific groups without calling 9-1-1. The app also includes a customized content directory that gives employees quick access to important information like procedures, facility maps, and protocols.

When any one of the emergency buttons is pressed, your phone will dial 9-1-1. At the same time, the Panic Button app determines whether you are on a campus you are associated with. If so, emergency notifications will be automatically generated to campus administrators, school resource officers and other designated officials and employees. In addition to your call, the 9-1-1 call taker is provided with additional information about your campus, such as floor plans and maps, and also given the ability to send additional emergency notifications to key staff or to every authorized employee on campus, depending on the situation.

Pressing any of the emergency buttons inside of the Rave Panic Button app will always dial 9-1-1, so you will be connected with a 9-1-1 call taker. Based on your location at the time of pressing the button, the system will determine whether emergency notifications need to be delivered to campus administrators and school resource officers. If you are not on campus, then no notifications will be sent, but you will be connected to 9-1-1.

The Rave Panic Button app uses your location at the time you activate it to determine whether to treat your call as an activation of the system (generating emergency notifications to campus administrators and law enforcement) or as a regular 9-1-1 call (if you are not on campus at the time of your call). The app only accesses your location when you press one of the emergency buttons in the app, or if you use the Test function in the menu. If your location cannot be determined, then your call will be treated as a regular 9-1-1 call.

When reporting an emergency using one of the 5 emergency button, Panic Button will send important information to 9-1-1 automatically, as well as send notifications to designated staff so they can take real time action; such as locking down, evacuating, or responding with and AED.

The panic button is a cell phone app that will be available to staff at every school in the state. The $3 million provides access to all school districts, and Oklahoma is the third state to implement the service in schools statewide. The others are Arkansas and Delaware.

Rave Panic Button is a smartphone mobile app that with the push of a button instantly communicates any type of emergency to 9-1-1, while simultaneously connecting to on-site personnel, first responders and those involved to keep everyone informed and engaged throughout a situation. We have signed a contract for all of our schools and the Catholic Pastoral Center to use Rave. By doing all schools, it allows our schools to get the service at a fraction of what they would pay by themselves.

Henderson County began testing the Rave Panic Button in the spring with a limited number of users. Since then, minor medical emergencies have been successfully reported using the app. The goal is to have every public school employee and Mountain Community School employee equipped to use the panic button as the traditional school calendar begins. Year-round schools have already been equipped with the capabilities.

The RPB contains modes for an active shooter, medical, fire department, as well as a 911 call button. Once a user has reported an emergency, the app shares the information with everyone who has downloaded it, making it easier to access updates in case of an actual crisis. As a result, when Dr. Collins sent out a text message, teachers across the campus with the app received the alert.

The button was implemented this year during a faculty meeting, in which Dr. Collins encouraged teachers to download the apps on their phones. In light of the time last year when there was a shooting near the bus ramp after school, forcing the school to go into lockdown, many deemed the app a necessary step to promote security and communication.

The first few words of the text message induced panic among teachers who did not at first notice the last part of the text message, prompting them to call administrators to find out more about the situation.

Piett said users couldn't get into security protocols without compromising the app, but said safeguards already in place include restricted access for users of the application. He added their app only dials 911 for users at the push of a button--it doesn't change the way a call is routed or the way a caller would interact with existing emergency services.

New Castle County first rolled out the Rave Panic Button in schools, shopping malls, community centers and other large facilities in November of 2016. The app has buttons to notify police of a number of scenarios, including active shooter, fire, police, or medical.

From the push of a button, during an emergency, the app not only calls 911, but gives police instant information on how to access the facility, increasing the potential for more rapid response times. It also sends out notifications to anyone working in the building that there's an emergency.

"They had to interrupt the system for three to four hours, which meant no one could have used the panic button if they were in need of it; then, they sent a message to all panic button users that they had to update their panic button or it wasn't going to work--that apparently, their new rock-solid no one getting in the backdoor spoofing anyone's phone number type of thing" was complete.

In the Fiscal Year 2018, County Executive Matt Meyer proposed $160,000 in funding for Rave as the county continues to try expand usage of the panic button system. The payment reflects, not exactly an expansion, but rather a licensing fee which then allows the county to use the panic button as widely as it desires.

"Every day you check your app store, and there's something new with the numbers 911 in it, and it gives all of the 911 centers grave concern," said Miller. "When you push this button, where's it going, when it gets here, and how can we ensure it's getting to the right 911 center."

Holding the panic button down for 1.5 seconds only to be asked if we want to actually dial 911 burns valuable time that could be use to communicate with an emergency dispatcher. I suggest eliminating the 1.5 second delay and/or the call confirmation question.

The TEA has proposed this kind of panic alert technology be implemented at all Texas schools as a part of new safety rules. One month after the Uvalde shooting, Governor Greg Abbott, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, Speaker Dade Phelan, Senate Finance Committee Chair Joan Huffman and House Appropriations Chair Dr. Greg Bonnen allocated a $17.1 million grant for the technology.

Ensuring a safe learning environment is an incredibly important part of the job for every secondary school principal. The huge spectrum of emergencies for which schools must prepare ranges from allergic reactions to active shooters. Today, more than ever, technology is playing an indispensable role by enabling employees and first responders to more quickly and effectively recognize and manage these emergencies. Many schools are replacing or augmenting the panic buttons of yesterday-often affixed to walls or worn on necklaces-with sophisticated smartphone apps that enhance communication and information flow with responders.

Just a brief look at the number and type of active shooter incidents demonstrates why there is a burgeoning interest in state-of-the-art panic buttons. In a 2014 study, A Study of Active Shooter Incidents in the United States Between 2000 and 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified 160 active shooter incidents, with the trend increasing during that time period. According to a 2012 New York Police Department (NYPD) study, only 16 percent of the 230 active shooter incidents they reviewed ended without applied force-either by police, security, or bystanders. What that means is that until someone-a law enforcement officer or anyone else-confronts or challenges the shooter, the attack will likely continue. By reducing the notification time of both people on the scene and responding police officers, the attacker has a smaller window to inflict injury or fatally shoot someone.

The latest wave of panic button technologies takes advantage of core capabilities of ubiquitous smartphones, including location-based services, texting, and multimedia and voice services. These apps have the ability to create a communication bridge between the victim or initial reporter of the incident, responders, and on-site personnel such as school resource officers and administrators. Some of these technologies even leverage the existing 911 center response processes and dispatch capabilities to speed response time. While addressing the entire spectrum of emergencies, these solutions also address the key recommendations of every major study of active shooter incidents-they shorten the time for engagement in the appropriate mitigation behavior and increase communication.

Panic buttons also provide 911 centers with a method to easily notify school administrators about off-campus incidents that may affect them, such as gas leaks or assaults. In fact, the first use of the system in a Snohomish County district involved a medical incident. In this case, the school nurse was notified immediately and was able to address the incident before emergency medical services arrived. 2351a5e196
