What is an emergency communication system?
An emergency communication system (ECS) provides a business with a system to alert occupants of an emergency through input devices, sensors, and output devices such as speakers and lighting. The ECS should provide the ability to relay critical information to a targeted audience with pre-recorded and live audible instructions such as to evacuate or shelter in place.
It is recommended to integrate an ECS with the existing commercial fire alarm system to ensure reliable performance with the proper maintenance and service. NFPA 72: the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code details the standards for Emergency Communication Systems for facilities such as hospitals, schools, hotels and more. Ask HRSS about ensuring that your ECS meets your needs and provides maximum protection.
