Everyone out. Everyone accounted for. Everyone reunited.
Evacuation is three jobs at once: getting people out safely, knowing who made it out, and reuniting families when it is over. PushPulse coordinates all three from one platform, so nothing falls through the gap between the alarm and the all-clear.
Evacuation Alerts
Real-Time Headcount
Assembly Area Check-In
Reunification
The order goes out before anyone is still inside wondering what to do
When a building needs to be evacuated, the alert needs to reach everyone in the building simultaneously, not travel from person to person or wait for someone to pull a fire alarm that half the building cannot hear. PushPulse sends an evacuation alert across push notifications, SMS, email, and voice in seconds, reaching every staff member, coordinator, and team member on every device with Do Not Disturb override. Pre-built evacuation templates include clear instructions so people are moving toward the right exits before they have finished reading the notification. For multi-site organizations, alerts can target a specific building while leaving unaffected sites undisturbed.
- Simultaneous evacuation alert across push, SMS, email, and voice
- Do Not Disturb override on all mobile devices
- Pre-built evacuation templates with exit and assembly instructions
- Target a specific building, floor, or all sites simultaneously
- Coordinator notification separate from the general staff alert
Know who is out and who is still inside
The most dangerous moment of any evacuation is not the alarm, it is the uncertainty afterward. Is everyone out? Who was on the third floor? Did anyone stay behind? PushPulse Live View tracks headcount by site, floor, and room so coordinators can see in real time how many people were in the building when the evacuation began and how that number changes as people exit. A safe or not-safe poll sent immediately after the evacuation order lets staff confirm they are out without making a call. Non-responders are visible immediately so your team knows exactly where to focus follow-up, not who they think might still be inside, who they know has not confirmed.
- Live View headcount by site, floor, and room before and during evacuation
- Safe or not-safe poll to confirm staff are out
- Real-time response tracking with non-responder visibility
- Headcount reset when evacuation is confirmed complete
- Monitor all buildings simultaneously from one dashboard
Organized at the assembly point, not chaotic
Getting everyone out of the building is half the job. Accounting for everyone at the assembly area is the other half. PushPulse lets coordinators at the assembly point check people in as they arrive, building a confirmed-out count in real time that headquarters and the incident commander can see from the dashboard. Staff who have not arrived at the assembly area are visible immediately so the team can account for them before anyone re-enters the building to search. Post status updates to keep everyone at the assembly area informed as the situation develops, so people are not wandering back toward the building for information.
- Assembly area check-in from the mobile app
- Confirmed-out count visible to all coordinators in real time
- Non-arrival visibility for targeted follow-up
- Status updates to keep assembly area informed
- Coordinate multiple assembly areas for large or multi-building sites
Families reunited with a clear process, not a crowd of questions
For schools and daycares, the evacuation does not end when the building is clear. It ends when every child is back with a parent or guardian. Reunification is one of the most operationally complex parts of any school emergency response, and one of the most visible to parents who are watching how the situation is handled. PushPulse supports the reunification process with the communication tools your team needs: parent notifications with reunification location and instructions, staff coordination at the reunification site, and documentation of who has been released and to whom. When the last child goes home, the record is complete.
- Parent notification with reunification location and instructions
- Staff coordination at the reunification site via Comms
- Documentation of student release via custom forms
- Real-time communication between reunification site and incident command
- Complete reunification record for administration and legal
