Case Study: Penn State University expands event safety and emergency operations with Buffalo Computer Graphics' DLAN

Penn State expands use of DLAN to include football and large campus events

Penn State University's Emergency Operations Center needed a robust system to monitor and manage emergencies across its 24 campuses and surrounding communities, particularly for severe weather events and large gatherings. They turned to Buffalo Computer Graphics and its DLAN incident management system to centralize information sharing and coordination among all stakeholders.

Buffalo Computer Graphics implemented DLAN, which provided tools for pre-planning, event monitoring, and emergency operations in a single, secure common location. The solution allowed Penn State to easily expand the system's use to include home football games, enhancing safety and providing more operational experience. The university found the software intuitive and praised the personalized support from BCG, which helped tailor the solution to their specific needs and ensure successful integration into their daily operations.
