In the chaos that occurs during an evacuation, there needs to be a way for the safety coordinators to let appropriate personnel know if a person is missing.

The MURS Callbox XT Outdoor Intercom is the perfect device for this application. The Callbox enables the coordinators to press a button to instantly notify security personnel who are carrying two-way radios that receive calls from the Callboxes. Unlike using cell phones for this application, there is no delay in dialing, no worry about finding the phone number to call, or no worry about not having a cell phone at all.

You could also install a wireless PA system at each external checkpoint so security personnel can make announcements to each group.

Especially for a large campus environment implementing a system like this is the best way to ensure that everyone gets out of the building safely. But no matter what the size of the company, effective communication during an emergency is key to saving lives.
