Case Study: West Michigan Academy of Environmental Science achieves rapid staff alerts and safe dismissal with CrisisGo

How West Michigan Academy of Environmental Science is reaching all of their staff with rapid alerts and communication with a school safety platform

West Michigan Academy of Environmental Science faced a safety threat when an individual emailed the elementary principal with a threat to come to the school; with 850 students on site, leadership needed a fast, reliable way to alert staff and coordinate an immediate response. The school deployed CrisisGo’s school safety platform to rapidly communicate the threat and initiate a lockdown.

CrisisGo provided instantaneous lockdown notifications and role-specific internal messaging that allowed staff to coordinate and safely dismiss all 850 students once the threat was deemed not credible. Running on Amazon Web Services, CrisisGo delivered secure, redundant connectivity that reassured staff, accelerated response times, and created a dependable communication channel during a traumatic event.
