With the situational awareness the SARA automated alerting engine provides through centralized alarm monitoring, the appropriate response can be initiated according to predefined alerting and escalation protocols to ensure government officials, employees, on-and off-site responders, and the general public get the information they need to respond to an unfolding event as accurately and quickly as possible. SARA can connect all networks and devices for a unified awareness experience, ensuring the right information reaches the right people via the right devices so an unfolding situation can be addressed the right way.
