Morgan Hill, CA, June 13, 2005 --(PR.com)-- A Collaborative Approach For a Safe Community. PlanReady, formerly Retriever Online™, today announces their new name, location and the availability of their next generation emergency-preparedness solution, RescueConnexion, providing school administrators and emergency personnel immediate access to critical information during a crisis situation.
Nationwide, school administrators are facing crisis situations in epidemic proportions, where literally ‘minutes’ can influence a positive outcome. It is critical for educational facilities to collaborate with community and government agencies in order to create a comprehensive and effective emergency-preparedness plan that ensures the safety for all involved. PlanReady can help your school district create a unified safety plan that is always accurate and accessible to school administrators and first responders.
“In accordance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), RescueConnexion incorporates the use of the Incident Command System (ICS) concepts and principles to ensure a school district’s emergency safety plan and procedures are considered up-to-code,” says Brad Kiggins, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for PlanReady. “Our ongoing goal is to ensure that all school districts are in possession of a sound and proven emergency safety plan that is consistent across all schools and properly communicated to everyone involved, including police, fire and other first responders.”
School districts rename and re-configure classrooms to accommodate their growing student population; however, this information is not always updated and circulated in a timely manner, if at all. School administrators and emergency personnel can be greatly impeded during a dangerous situation by not having access to accurate facility plans, exit routes and contact information.
“For nearly 18 years I have been helping hospitals and school districts establish emergency management plans; unfortunately, these plans are not always accessible to those individuals or agencies who are first to arrive at the scene, referred to as ‘first-responders’,” says Jeff George, Emergency Services Coordinator and Director of Operations for Oak Grove School District, San Jose, California. “PlanReady too saw this as a serious flaw and consequently developed a solution in which to store vital, up-to-date facility documents and allow 24x7 online access via their web-based solution or offline via their USB run application. No hard copies to sift through, simply point-and-click your way through facility plans, utility shut-off instructions and more.”
