Case Study: Linn-Mar Community School District achieves faster lockdowns and streamlined emergency communication with CrisisGo

How Linn-Mar Community School District streamlined their safety information and communication with our school safety app

Linn-Mar Community School District faced gaps in emergency preparedness: their plans were stored in physical binders few staff knew about, updates were slow to distribute, and communication during incidents was inadequate. To address this, the district engaged CrisisGo and adopted the CrisisGo platform to give staff immediate access to emergency plans, push real-time updates, and improve in-incident communication and training.

CrisisGo implemented a digital emergency-planning and communication solution that lets the district edit plans online, instantly update all staff, and run actionable safety drills. The platform was used days after rollout during a lockdown triggered by a social-media threat—one fully trained school locked down in seconds versus 15–20 minutes at schools not yet trained—demonstrating measurable improvements in response time and ongoing ability to adapt procedures based on drill feedback.
