In an emergency, every second matters. The day after being trained on how to use CENTEGIX CrisisAlert in Yakima, Washington, a school counselor suddenly started feeling unwell in her office. Her vision had become blurry, and she couldn’t see the numbers on her phone to place a call for help. Thankfully, she was wearing her CrisisAlert badge and was able to press the panic button before losing consciousness. By using the badge, staff, and security knew precisely who needed help and where they were, saving time and, ultimately, her life.
CENTEGIX safety technology empowers every school employee to take action in the event of an emergency or threat. The comprehensive CENTEGIX Safety Platform™ integrates technology like dynamic digital mapping, real-time locating, and user-friendly wearable panic buttons, providing rapid response and effective management of emergencies. By empowering staff with the tools they need to get help rapidly, CENTEGIX enhances safety and fosters a culture of preparedness and confidence across campuses.

This proactive approach is vital in today’s unpredictable world, where the safety of students, patients, and staff cannot be compromised.

The Leader in Emergency Response
The CENTEGIX Safety Platform accelerates emergency response by minimizing the time to identify, notify, and respond to an emergency.
- Identify: The single button on a wearable badge makes initiating a call for help simple. Every staff member is empowered with a CrisisAlert badge, the fastest and easiest way for staff to request help in a crisis.
- Notify: We have learned from prior tragedies that those behind a locked door or hard surface have a 96% survival rate. To notify everyone on campus as soon as possible to get to safety, we deliver visual notification through strobes, provide a screen display takeover, and deliver audio messages through direct integration with intercom systems. Notifications are delivered automatically and immediately when an emergency is identified without manual intervention.
- Respond: We provide the precise room and floor-level location information of all who request help by delivering a detailed map of the facility and corresponding safety and security assets.
Within seconds, this information is delivered to the people who can provide help – both onsite responders, including SROs, and 911/county responders.
From other incidents, we’ve learned that relying on cellular and Wi-Fi creates challenges. Our system does not rely on those technologies, which may not be available in an emergency.
