Alyssa’s Law Passes in Oklahoma: House Bill 4073

The Oklahoma legislature recently passed Alyssa’s Law, authored by Rep. Kevin Wallace, R-Wellston, and Sen. Darrell Weaver, R-Moore. This legislation, HB 4073, will require Oklahoma districts to implement mobile panic alert systems from approved vendors in their schools.

Alyssa’s Law is named for Alyssa Alhadeff, a victim of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, and has been championed by Alyssa’s parents, Lori and Dr. Ilan Alhadeff. Alyssa’s Law has won support as a common-sense solution for school safety.

Key features of Alyssa’s Law in Oklahoma include:

• Real-time coordination: The mobile panic alert system will connect emergency service technologies to ensure real-time coordination among multiple first responder agencies.
• Enhanced 911 integration: The system will integrate with public safety answering point infrastructure to transmit 911 calls and mobile activations, providing immediate alerts to designated school personnel.
• Comprehensive emergency response: Emergency responders will receive vital information such as floor plans and caller location to assist during emergencies, ensuring a prompt, efficient response.

Representative Kevin Wallace said, “We’ve prioritized school safety over the past couple of years, and Alyssa’s law ties school security together by coordinating our schools and law enforcement. The most secure buildings have vulnerabilities when communication isn’t clear.”

To comply with this new legislation, Oklahoma schools must be equipped with a mobile panic alert systems, such as CrisisAlert™, that:

• Automatically alert designated school personnel during an emergency initiated by smartphone application, phone call, text message, or other technology.
• Provide emergency responders with floor plans, alert location, and other information to assist emergency responders during a 911 call.
• Integrate designated school personnel with emergency responders for real-time situational updates.

CrisisAlert™—part of the CENTEGIX Safety Platform®—is a rapid incident response solution that helps protect students and staff members by empowering teachers and staff to immediately get help with a discreet panic button on a wearable badge. CrisisAlert operates via private LoRaWAN and Bluetooth networks, the ideal solution for schools where gaps in Wi-Fi and poor cellular signals can often disrupt connectivity. With intelligent response mapping and campus-wide notification capabilities, CrisisAlert can send a school into lockdown while immediately providing first responders with precise location information, enabling them to respond faster in an emergency situation.
