Mass Notification Defined |
Mass Notification Systems (a.k.a. Emergency Communication Systems) provide real-time
information to all building occupants or personnel in the immediate vicinity of a building
during emergency situations.
All Department of Defense (DOD) components are
required to provide mass notification capability.
This UFC (Unified Facilities Criteria) was developed by collecting and refining criteria from DOD antiterrorism
guidance, examining previous mass notification system evaluation reports,
and reviewing the capabilities of representative, commercially available mass
notification products. |
