Mass Notification Systems
Mass Notification is defined by the U.S. Department of Defense as “the capability to provide real-time information to all building occupants or personnel in the immediate vicinity of a building during emergency situations. To reduce the risk of mass casualties, there must be a timely means to notify building occupants of threats and what should be done in response to those threats.”
Using proven technology, Hiller can design a comprehensive solution not only to notify people of danger, but to instruct them of action to take to avoid it. Mass Notification Systems are a combination of systems for input, detection and output that allows a facility to keep its occupants informed every step of the way. Notifications include traditional speakers and strobes and also include email blasts, text messages, voice messages, computer pop-ups and electronic bulletin boards.
Notification systems take many forms – audible, visual or a combination. Through our network of industry suppliers and our expertise in comprehensive fire protection, Hiller can recommend the appropriate solution to ensure your safety. Reliable detection and notification systems are a key barrier to devastating loss. We also provide inspection, maintenance and repair services on commercial notification and detection systems to ensure the protection of lives and property.
