Abstract
Described are systems and methods for providing instructions in response to an emergency. An emergency alert system may receive indication of an emergency situation in a building. In response, the emergency alert system may determine personalized emergency response instructions for an occupant of the building based on the location and type of emergency. The emergency alert system may present the personalized emergency response instructions to the occupant and monitor the progress of the occupant in following the instructions. Some aspects relate to performing emergency response drills and monitoring performance of occupants participating in drills.
Claims20
A system for performing an emergency response drill, the system comprising a computing platform configured to perform the operations of:
- causing, by a computing platform, transmission of one or more software package instructions for execution of an emergency alert agent to a mobile computing device;
- receiving, by the computing platform, a request for historical emergency drill data for display in a graphical user interface representing an emergency drill management dashboard, the historical emergency drill data associated with a user of the mobile computing device and further comprising previous emergency response instructions for an emergency response drill scenario;
- detecting, by the computing platform, modification input received at the emergency drill management dashboard for generating modified emergency response instructions;
- causing, by the computing platform, initiation of the emergency response drill scenario based on one of (i) an alarm tone triggered at a remotely located emergency detection device simulator, (ii) transmission of the modified emergency response instructions to the mobile computing device, or (iii) transmission of a scheduled notification to run a drill on the mobile device;
- receiving, by the computing platform, completion data sent from the emergency alert agent executing on the mobile computing device, the completion data indicative of an elapsed time associated with the modified emergency response instructions;
- and
- causing the mobile computing device to establish a communications channel with the emergency detection device simulator in order to trigger the alarm tone.
