On college campuses, emergencies can strike without warning severe weather, active threats, medical incidents, or large-scale power outages. In these critical moments, having a reliable mass notification system isn’t just a convenience it’s essential.
At Transportation Solutions & Lighting (TS&L), we’ve seen firsthand how campuses are rethinking the way they alert students, staff, and visitors. The mission is simple: deliver instant, clear communication to everyone, everywhere on campus.
Many schools rely heavily on email or text alerts. But here’s the problem:
That’s why colleges and universities are layering physical mass notification systems — visible, loud, and reliable — to ensure no one is missed.
The most advanced systems combine multiple channels to guarantee coverage:
When a severe storm hit a Florida university last year, their outdoor PA system broadcasted an evacuation message in under 15 seconds. Even with cell service overloaded, students in open areas heard instructions clearly and moved to safe zones.
This example highlights why redundancy having multiple ways to alert people is critical for true campus safety.
With decades of experience in campus safety and smart city solutions, TS&L provides more than just hardware:
Emergencies don’t wait and your notification system shouldn’t either. By investing in mass notification technology, campuses can protect their students, staff, and visitors with the speed and clarity they deserve.
