Inquiry
What would happen if:
| |
You have three security guards |
| |
One is on tour (patrol duty) |
| |
The two elderly guards at the guardhouse see black smoke
billowing out of a 10th floor kitchen window |
| |
|
|
Abiding by
standard procedure, you must: |
| |
You must call the Fire Department |
| |
Evacuate the residents two floors above and two floors below |
|
According to
Federal Emergency Management Agency, US (FEMA)
in just two minutes a fire can become life-threatening and in
five minutes a residence can be engulfed.
CAN
YOU EVACUATE THE RESIDENTS ON TIME?
With the INTERACTIVE VIDEO INTERCOM & ALERT SYSTEM
(IVIAS), your guard can
broadcast an EVACUATE NOW! message to
the affected floors saving precious time climbing staircases and going
from door to door. By evacuating only the affected floors, there is
less traffic in the fire exits this makes evacuation faster and
minimizes the chances of a stampede.
Emergency
Message Broadcast is a standard feature in
IVIAS!

Other ideas:
Placing additional Resident Terminals (RT) for Security Guards to use as
a tour station i.e. the Security Guard doing the patrol must call back
using the RT at the appointed time. Residents can also use this
terminal to communicate with Guardhouse personnel.
Placing additional Lobby Terminals to facilitate communication from the
poolside to the residence.
