K-12 Panic Alarm for Schools

The Smart Button® is a panic escalation app that fully complies with New York’s Alyssa’s Law with “new school” software methods. New York is the third state to pass Alyssa’s Law, requiring schools to assess the implementation of instant panic button systems and other direct communication technologies during safety plan reviews

Alyssa's Law was named after 14-year-old Alyssa Alhadeff, who was tragically killed in the 2018 Parkland School Shooting. Her mother, Lori Alhadeff, has taken swift action in pushing the initiative to have schools adopt instant panic buttons to heighten schools' preparedness and emergency response times, with the goal of saving as many lives as possible.
