Case Study: Long Branch Public Schools achieves district-wide mass communication and empowered emergency alerts with CrisisGo

Improved Mass Communication and Emergency Alerting

Long Branch Public Schools, a New Jersey district with 11 sites, faced inconsistent and slow emergency communications using cell phones, two-way radios, and email. To unify notifications and ensure every location could be reached at once, the district chose CrisisGo’s mass-communication platform and desktop safety app.

CrisisGo implemented a system that grants every staff member the authority to send emergency alerts, connects all buildings for simultaneous notifications, and provides a desktop option for staff without smartphones. Long Branch credits CrisisGo with strengthening school safety and supporting real-world responses — including averting a potential kidnapping and coordinating a lockdown after a nearby shooting — while ensuring every employee can activate life‑saving alerts.
