Incident Response Plan

Emergency Response for Educational Facilities

Schools and Campuses need an Incident Response Plan. DSX can provide an integrated solution that facilitates the activation, action and notification of emergencies by locking down doors and altering access privileges while notifying staff and authorities. Proactive crisis planning is critical but, having a plan is not enough. Taking action quickly with clear communication must also be a requirement.

DSX can quickly reconfigure the access control system's operation and notify personnel of the emergency while initiating the appropriate action such as locking doors. WinDSX is a highly Integral solution that can be connected to other systems for a layered and well rounded approach.

Always involve your local authorities such as law enforcement and fire safety personnel to make sure your plan is compliant with local regulations. Here is a guide to performing a Lockdown. Use this to consider and even implement your plan.
