This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
In addition to an Active Shooter emergency, a Mass Notification System serves as an immediate emergency announcement to large number of individuals for the following emergency events:
  • Active Shooter
  • Fire / Arson
  • Workplace Violence
  • Terrorist Attack
  • Hazardous Material / Chemical accidental spill or sabotage
  • Gas related leaks or sabotage
  • Bomb or Contamination Threats.
  • National Disasters / Severe Weather
  • Water related accidental leak or sabotage.
  • Civil Unrest
  • An event requiring emergency evacuation, shelter in place, and/or response directions.

Mass Notification Systems go beyond the event site, which, in addition to law enforcement and fire department, concurrent notification may include:

  • On-site security officers and/or company emergency personnel.
  • Individuals traveling to the event site, most likely unaware.
  • Contiguous facilities.
  • Company key management contact.

APC Emergency Mass Notification System – Components and Features:

  • Automated Concurrent Response:
An APC Emergency Mass Notification System is a combination of physical and electronic security safeguards and specialized software that when activated will automatically concurrently activate physical security countermeasures, emergency announcements and communications, and notification to responding law enforcement, fire, EMS, and other responding agencies as appropriate. APC also leverages the other communication channels such as emails, digital signage, text messages, voice calls, and desktop alerts.
  • Ease of Use:

APC understands that ease of use is paramount, especially during high-stress situations. An easy-to-use system reduces human errors at critical times.  APC Emergency Mass Notification Systems are designed to be accessible to authorized multiple users on a user-friendly basis.

  • Critical Component - On-Premises Fire Alarm System

It is critical that the on-premises fire alarm system is utilized for audio / visual Mass Notification announcements. APC is recognized as a fire alarm system area leader and an EST fire system Strategic Partner. Failure to incorporate the on-premises fire alarm audio / visual system works against the effectiveness of emergency announcement messaging, and may cause confusion, misdirection and possibly loss of life.

Fire alarm systems are NFPA code compliant, electronically supervised, designed, installed and programmed by state licensed companies, designers and technicians. APC adheres to Underwriter Laboratory (UL) Mass Notification Standard 2572, which regulates the design and testing fire alarm system mass notification audible and visual systems.
