FOX 13: How Manatee County Gives First RespondersImmediate Eyes on Campus
FOX 13 Tampa Bay recently visited the School District of Manatee County to show how the district is connecting staff-initiated emergency alerts with live campus video and critical response information.
Watch: Manatee County’s Connected Approach to School Emergency Response
A single button press can do more than send an alert. In Manatee County, it can connect authorized responders with the location of the person requesting help, relevant live camera views, digital maps, and nearby emergency resources.
Watch FOX 13 Tampa Bay’s Kimberly Kuizon explain how the district is using this connected response to support both security incidents and medical emergencies.
It allows us in any emergency to reach for our badge, press our button and receive a response.
Workflow
How the Connected Response Works
Manatee County’s response workflow connects the person requesting help with the information responders need to act.
01
A staff member requests help
A staff member activates their wearable CrisisAlert badge from the location of the incident.
02
The alert communicates who and where
CrisisAlert identifies the person requesting help and the precise location of the alert.
03
Relevant context becomes available
Authorized responders can access relevant live camera views, digital maps, and nearby safety resources.
04
Responders assess and coordinate
Response teams use the available context to prepare, coordinate resources, and approach the incident with greater awareness.
Turn Existing Cameras Into a Real-Time Response Resource
Manatee County’s approach demonstrates how existing cameras can become part of an active emergency-response workflow when alerts, location information, maps, and video work together.
CENTEGIX Alert Activated Video connects CrisisAlert activations with relevant camera views, helping authorized responders gain visual context without manually searching across camera feeds. Learn more today.
