When Every Second Matters, HZ Alert Is Your Staff’s Lifeline
In the unpredictable world of school emergencies—lockdowns, medical crises, or nearby threats—swift, clear communication is everything. That’s why HZ Alert is built for urgency, not just messages.
Swift, Smart & Seamless
Staff can activate alerts with only two taps—via Android, iOS, or the desktop dashboard—so there’s no hesitation when moments count.
HZ Alerts aren’t one-way; two-way messaging confirms staff and student status in real time, closing the loop on situational awareness .
Location-Aware Alerts
Itinerant staff—bus drivers, itinerant specialists, substitute teachers—get notifications based on where they are, not just where they’re assigned . That means only relevant alerts, exactly when they matter.
Priority Messaging & SOS Functionality
Critical messages stay visible at the top of the feed, avoiding the scroll‑away danger of traditional alerts. And with the SOS button, any staff member can instantly call for help—connecting them to their School Emergency Response Team (SERT) at the push of a button.
Guided Protocols & Drill Clarity
HZ Alert includes built-in protocol guides in English, French, and Spanish, so staff can follow exact procedures even under pressure. Dedicated drill‑activation buttons prevent confusion between real emergencies and practice scenarios.
911 Call Integration
Need external emergency services? A one‑tap 911 connector ensures help is summoned fast.
District‑Wide and Across Boundaries
Every alert made in your district is visible on a real‑time map and widget setup, giving administrators total oversight. Plus, neighboring schools—even from other districts—can be looped in if an incident crosses school lines, boosting community safety.
HZ Alert Isn’t a Patchwork. It’s Precision.
Unlike traditional emergency tools that layer over PA systems or alarms, HZ Alert is a unified platform—integrated with Hour‑Zero’s broader emergency response program—to coordinate staff, on‑site teams, central administration, and protocols from a single source.
In the moment of crisis, there’s no room for friction. HZ Alert is engineered to deliver the right message, to the right person, at exactly the right time—so that when seconds count, safety wins.
