Case Study: Snohomish County, Washington achieves swift, safe evacuation of 600+ students and staff with Rave Mobile Safety's Rave Panic Button

Rave Panic ButtonTM Helps Safely Evacuate School During Snohomish County, WA Gas Leak

Snohomish County, Washington faced a sudden emergency when an excavator struck a gas line near North Lake Middle School and a 9-1-1 call disconnected before dispatch trainee Zack Sanders could get full details. With students and staff potentially at risk, Snohomish County, Washington relied on Rave Mobile Safety and its Rave Panic Button to communicate quickly and manage the evacuation.

Rave Mobile Safety’s Rave Panic Button let Sanders simultaneously dial 9-1-1, send templated and ad‑hoc alerts to on‑site staff, and deliver facility and response data to dispatchers and first responders. The coordinated response enabled more than 600 students and staff to be swiftly and safely evacuated, allowed responders to use facility information to clear the building, and improved on‑site communications during the incident.
