Emergency & Evacuation Management Platform
Ensure Campus Safety with Improved Emergency Event Plans and Processes

Why Higher Education Campuses Need Emergency Management
A fast, organized response is critical to protecting students, faculty, and staff in an emergency. EmergencyOS provides higher education institutions with a centralized emergency management platform to enhance evacuation coordination, real-time mustering, and compliance reporting.
With EmergencyOS, universities and colleges can digitize evacuation plans, conduct drills to improve preparedness, and track real-time mustering at designated assembly points while maintaining a digital audit trail for post-incident analysis. This level of automation and visibility empowers campus safety teams to act decisively and ensure no one is left behind.
How Can EmergencyOS Help Higher Education?

Digitize Evacuation Processes
Say goodbye to inefficient manual evacuation processes. With digital oversight of the evacuation and mustering process, EmergencyOS helps to remove the manual effort of error-prone, paper-based processes and decreases costly downtime.

Extend Communication
Remove communication barriers for non-employees. Integration with Visitor Management Systems, such as VisitorOS, allows temporary visitors and contractors to be included in real-time communication channels and critical updates.

Communicate in Real-Time
EmergencyOS active messaging features allow Safety Officers to communicate instantly with all evacuees during an emergency via standard SMS and phone calls within the app.

Gain Real-Time Visibility
EmergencyOS provides Safety Officers access to an up-to-date list of employees, including visitors and contractors potentially impacted by an emergency evacuation situation – all visible in a centralized interface.

Perform Digital Roll Calls
Manual paper-based roll calls are time-consuming and often incomplete. With EmergencyOS, Safety Officers can save valuable time with digital roll calls. The latest status from all evacuees is automatically gathered. Have multiple mustering points? No problem! The data is stored in a remotely accessible central location.

Tailor Emergency Responses
EmergencyOS lets you create and customize procedures and notifications for various emergency scenarios with precision. Configure response flows, tailor your messages, and ensure timely communication during the most critical moments.

Evacuation Reporting
Collect and store evacuation data such as the nature of the event, emergency event duration, individual evacuation times, and more. EmergencyOS provides a digital record of evacuation events along with complied detailed evacuation metrics for all facilities providing campus-wide visibility.

Compliance Reporting
EmergencyOS allows you to maintain detailed reports essential for internal and external audits and regulatory compliance by recording a full and complete digital audit trail and evacuation log of every evacuation event. Save time, improve accuracy, and avoid penalties and costly audits from regulations such as OSHA and the Clery Act.

Data Driven Improvements
EmergencyOS provides you with the data needed to help detect and isolate potential future issues and identify actionable opportunities to implement ongoing evacuation process improvements. Leverage historical evacuation data to track trends over time, quickly identify points of friction, and highlight areas of weakness.
Higher Education Compliance Requirements
Higher education institutions must adhere to strict safety regulations to protect students, faculty, and staff during emergencies. Compliance with local, national, and international safety laws requires campuses to have well-documented emergency management procedures, particularly for evacuations. EmergencyOS provides a centralized platform that helps institutions stay compliant by streamlining emergency planning, real-time mustering, and digital record-keeping.
The Clery Act
The Clery Act in the US mandates that colleges and universities participating in federal financial aid programs must disclose campus safety information and maintain emergency response protocols. This includes having a clear evacuation plan and timely warnings for threats.
EmergencyOS enables organizations to be compliant through:
- Automated emergency alerts to notify students and staff in real-time.
- Digital evacuation plans that can be accessed and updated instantly.
- Secure reporting and audit trails to maintain compliance documentation.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
OSHA regulations require institutions in the US to implement emergency action plans (EAPs) to ensure safe evacuations during fires, chemical spills, or other hazards. A robust emergency management system enhances compliance by streamlining evacuation coordination.
EmergencyOS helps ensure compliance by:
- Real-time mustering to account for individuals during evacuations.
- Customizable emergency action plans tailored to campus layouts.
- Digital reports for compliance audits and safety drills.

US Department of Education’s Title IX Guidance on Safety & Security
Title IX mandates that institutions take proactive steps to ensure campus safety, including emergency response strategies for incidents like active threats and evacuations. An effective emergency management system helps institutions respond swiftly and efficiently.
EmergencyOS enables organizations to be compliant through:
- Instant communication tools to alert on-site personnel.
- Pre-configured emergency protocols to enhance response time.
- Secure tracking of safety drills and evacuation logs for audits.

FEMA Higher Education Emergency Management Standards
FEMA is a US regulation that provides guidelines for emergency preparedness, including requirements for higher education institutions to develop, test, and improve evacuation procedures.
EmergencyOS enables organizations to be compliant through:
- Digital drill management to ensure preparedness before an actual emergency.
- Centralized emergency response coordination across multiple campus locations.
- Automated mustering to track evacuation efficiency in real-time.

UK Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
This law in the UK mandates that institutions conduct regular fire risk assessments and implement clear evacuation procedures.
EmergencyOS enables organizations to be compliant through:
- Smart evacuation tracking with automated check-ins at muster points.
- Digital compliance logs to document drills and emergency response effectiveness.
