U. of Windsor's integrated approach to security and emergency management
With the goal of a fully-integrated security and emergency management system, the department also invested in emergency management software called WebEOC which it purchased from FutureShield.
Cowper also invested in Asvaco risk assessment software as well as EmerGeo (a GIS-based engine that sits on top of WebEOC and integrates with the school’s camera system), and MIR3 Emergency Notification Software Services.
The integration of all of those technologies into one application — CCTV, emergency management software applications; mass notification and the PA systems; geo-mapping with EmerGEO integrated into WebEOC — had never been accomplished in a university setting. Before any of that can happen, schools have to have their cameras, access control, key control, incident management and emergency notification in place and ideally, a risk assessment is conducted first.
“How the University of Windsor has taken it beyond anybody else is by getting those systems in early and then saying, ‘Where are the rest of our holes?’ The problem is, the universities are behind what most corporations are doing and haven’t had their threat-risk assessments done,” says Cynthia Weeden, president of FutureShield.
