Pikmykid Partners with RapidSOS to Enable Seamless 911 Notifications through its Emergency Alert System
TAMPA, June 16, 2023 – Pikmykid, the leading provider of comprehensive school safety and dismissal solutions, has partnered with RapidSOS, the intelligent safety platform that securely connects data directly to RapidSOS Safety Agents, 911, and first responders. This partnership ensures emergency responders have the necessary information to respond effectively and swiftly during school emergencies.
By integrating Pikmykid’s emergency alert system with RapidSOS’s intelligent safety platform, critical information can be shared instantly with 911 dispatchers, including the accurate location of the emergency, the type of emergency, and other essential details.
“Student safety is our top priority,” said Pat Bhava, CEO of Pikmykid. “Teaming up with RapidSOS allows our K-12 Schools to connect silently with telecommunicators and other first responders , streamlining the process and saving precious response time during critical moments.”
The collaboration between Pikmykid and RapidSOS will not only benefit schools and parents, but also serve as a valuable asset to local emergency response agencies. By ensuring that accurate and up-to-date information is transmitted to telecommunicators, first responders can arrive on the scene faster equipped with critical insights to mitigate potential risks and protect the lives of those involved.
“Our mission at RapidSOS is to connect the world to emergency services and help keep people and communities safe,” said Karin Marquez, Chief Public Safety Brand Officer at RapidSOS. “Pikmykid shares in this vision and, together, we can make a meaningful impact on the safety of students in schools and provide peace of mind to parents and educators.”
With the launch of this solution, the Pikmykid platform will be recognized as RapidSOS Ready – allowing critical data to be sent directly to local 911 agencies in an emergency through the RapidSOS intelligent safety platform.
Pikmykid and RapidSOS are excited about the immense potential this partnership holds for improving emergency response procedures for K-12 schools and protecting students and staff. By leveraging the strengths of both organizations, they aim to transform how emergency situations are handled in schools, setting a new standard for student safety and well-being.
