Case Study: Evergreen Park Community High School achieves faster first-responder alerts and improved safety drills with CrisisGo

Maximizing Safety Drills with Escalation to First Responders

Evergreen Park Community High School faced a gap in emergency communications: although the district had an internal building warning system, it lacked mobile alerting for staff and a way to include local law enforcement directly in safety drills. To close that gap, the school selected CrisisGo to provide school safety drills and mobile emergency alerting that could connect administrators, staff and first responders in real time.

CrisisGo implemented a single, audible alerting workflow that includes first responders in drills and lets the school test safety tools end-to-end. The district reported numerous successful drills and a clear measurable impact: an alert sent via CrisisGo reached first responders about three minutes faster than the school’s standard police dispatch notification, improving the speed and effectiveness of their emergency response.
