Founded in 1925, Centralia College is the oldest community college in Washington. Upwards of 600 staff and faculty and 6,000 students are on the campus every day.
Business Challenge:
Centralia College in Centralia, Wash., had outdated phones and four separate systems for sending emergency alerts. Neither was ideal for a campus that needed to send alerts quickly to a large campus population in the event of a dangerous situation.
Solution:
Centralia College updated its phone system to VOIP and implemented InformaCast Fusion throughout its campus to send mass notifications with critical safety information, eliminating the need for its other systems, and greatly increasing the speed and reach of its emergency messages.
