Kentucky Center for School Safety creates mobile app for instant access to information in responding to a crisis

The Kentucky Center for School Safety recently announced the launch of a mobile application for rapid access to online resources and emergency procedures for elementary and secondary school leaders.

According to KCSS Executive Director Jon Akers, the mobile app can be used on any “smart” phone or tablet computer for rapid access to emergency response protocols and planning information when a crisis occurs.

The mobile app gives users access to such things as:

·        Emergency  procedures checklist

·        Bomb threat or threat of harm reports

·        Accidents at school

·        Hostage situations

·        Bus accidents

·        Severe weather reports

Full information about the KCSS mobile app is available on the center’s website www.kcss.org about two-thirds of the way down the home page.  Or you can enter www.kysafeschools.org on your smart device and will be taken directly to the application.
