YOU CAN ALERT THE WHOLE CAMPUS. CAN IT ALERT YOU BACK?
On a large campus, mass notification reaches thousands of people in seconds — but almost all of it runs one way, out. When an emergency unfolds across dozens of buildings, the students and staff who can see where the danger is, who’s hurt, and who’s safe have no way to get that back to the people who can act. Share911 closes the loop.
THE GAP
THE ALERT IS OFTEN THE SLOWEST PART.
Two things slow a campus alert down. First, human and process delay — when several people have to weigh in before a message goes out, minutes vanish. Second, the Clery Act rightly requires you to confirm a genuine emergency before notifying the community — and confirmation is only as fast as the information reaching the people who decide.
But the larger gap is direction. Most campus systems are one-way: they push a message out to tens of thousands of people across academic buildings, residence halls and satellite sites — and receive nothing back. Everyone has been told, yet no one on the ground can tell your officers where to go.
HOW IT WORKS
MAKE THE ALERT TWO-WAY.
Share911 turns a one-way broadcast into a two-way channel. The same alert that reaches your campus lets people respond from wherever they are — report what they’re seeing, mark themselves safe, or raise their hand for help. In seconds, your security team and responding agencies have a live, located picture instead of a silent broadcast.
Confirm faster
First-hand reports from the ground help you confirm a real emergency in seconds — so the Clery clock starts, and the alert goes out, sooner.
Navigate to the threat and victims
Officers see where the danger is and where people need help, and move straight to it — across any building on campus.
Account for everyone
Students and staff mark themselves safe, or signal they’re trapped or hurt — so no one is searched for who’s already accounted for.
GUIDE RESPONDERS STRAIGHT TO IT.
Share911 brings CRG’s gridded critical-incident maps into the platform. Every report of danger or injury carries its exact grid square — so security and police see precisely where to go, on the same map they’re already using.
ACROSS CAMPUS
ONE CAMPUS. EVERY BUILDING. ONE PICTURE.
A university is a small city — academic buildings, residence halls, labs, arenas, satellite campuses. We connect them by their physical address, so an incident in one building is never invisible to the rest.
One building is hit — the campus knows
When an emergency starts in one building, key personnel across campus are alerted at the same moment — not everyone, just the people who need to act.
Reach one, several, or every building
Communicate with a single building, a cluster of them, or the whole campus at once — and to satellite campuses too, regardless of distance.
COMPLIANCE
BUILT FOR THE CLERY ACT’S TWO JOBS.
The Clery Act asks you to move fast on two fronts: issue timely warnings about ongoing threats, and send emergency notifications without delay once an emergency is confirmed. Share911 helps with both — quicker confirmation from real reports, faster notification, two-way follow-up, and a complete, time-stamped after-action record of who knew what, and when. (In the UK, universities above a size threshold also fall under Martyn’s Law.)
COMMON QUESTIONS
How is this different from our mass notification system?
Mass notification is one-way — it tells people. Share911 adds the missing direction: it lets them tell you back. The two work together — Share911 is the two-way layer on top of your broadcast.
Do we have to replace what we already use?
No. Share911 runs alongside your existing notification and security systems and integrates with many of them. There’s no hardware to buy — it works on the phones and computers your campus already has.
How do local responders get notified?
At a minimum, every emergency triggers a live operator phone call to public safety — a real person on the line, not just an automated message. Where it’s supported, we also notify individual responders electronically: they don’t just learn that an emergency is happening, they get the location, navigation and wayfinding to move straight to it on campus.
Does it help with the Clery Act?
Yes. Faster confirmation and notification, two-way follow-up, and a time-stamped record support your timely-warning and emergency-notification obligations.
