SIMULALERT®
WITH EVERY SECOND IN MIND®
A student in medical crisis…
A classroom argument escalates into violence…
An active shooter has entered your school…
WHY SIMULALERT®
Saving lives in a crisis requires quick, decisive action. When an intruder enters your school intent on harming students and staff, alerting the entire school to start lockdown measures within seconds saves precious lives.
SimulAlert® is a state-of-the-art emergency alert system that puts an emergency notification in the hands of teachers and staff. Its patented communication platform provides administration officials and first responders real-time situational awareness, pinpointing where on campus the emergency is taking place and the ability to prioritize their response to help those in imminent danger.
HOW IT WORKS
INTEGRATED ALERT AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM IN THE HANDS OF VIGILANT TEACHERS, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATORS
Using a series of Hubs throughout campus, the SimulAlert® system creates a virtual map of your campus and its buildings. Alert Badges issued to each staff communicates directly with each Hub on campus. With the press of a button, administration and first responders are alerted through a desktop Dashboard or Mobile Dashboard. The dashboard visually displays where on campus the alert was made, allowing for quick and decisive action within seconds.
In an active shooter event, teachers, and staff start an immediate lockdown and use the badge to indicate whether they are in immediate danger or under safe lockdown. The dashboard displays each classroom’s status, so first responders and administrators have real-time situational awareness.
SIMULALERT® TECHNOLOGY
Alert Badge
The SimulAlert® Badge uses a color-coded system to specify the type of emergency staff is experiencing.
- Red – Activates a school-wide alarm that prompts campus lockdown
- Blue – Medical emergency that leads medical staff and paramedics to the exact location on campus where the health crisis is happening
- Yellow – Prompts a discrete notification of administration to assist without drawing the attention of others in order to avoid escalating the situation.
HUB
A series of communication devices installed throughout campus, including classrooms and common gathering areas. It communicates directly with the badges. When a badge button is pressed, the Hub sends the alert to the Dashboard, providing location and type of emergency to responders.
DESKTOP DASHBOARD
The Dashboard is the central information portal of the SimulAlert® system. It provides a real time view of the safety status of the entre school. In an emergency, it provides a visual display of where staff need assistance.
MOBILE DASHBOARD
Puts the utility of the Desktop Dashboard on a smartphone or tablet. Ideal for school resource officers, local police, fire personnel and other first responders to give them the same real-time situational awareness and access to information needed to make critical decisions.

Our Story
As a dedicated teacher with over two decades of experience in the classroom, our founder, Miriam Gitau, PhD, was always deeply committed to the safety and well-being of her students. However, the devastating shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 left her shaken and determined to do something.
As a parent herself, Dr. Gitau knew that the fear of a school shooting was something that weighed heavily on the minds of many parents and educators. She began to think about ways that schools could be better prepared to respond to emergencies, and the idea for SimulAlert® was born.
The February 14, 2018, mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Florida, and other subsequent school mass shootings fueled her commitment to act on her belief that schools need better systems to alert their staff and students during a crisis.
Determined to make a difference, Dr. Gitau has spent years researching and developing the technology behind SimulAlert®. With a dedicated team, they have worked tirelessly to create an emergency alert system that is easy to use, reliable, and effective in the face of danger.
Today, Dr. Gitau is proud to know that her invention is helping to keep students and faculty safe in the event of an emergency. If you’re a school administrator looking for a way to keep your students and faculty safe in the event of an emergency, look no further than patented SimulAlert® system.
