SAFE 3.1
Signal Alert For EducationWearable badges with dual-button activation; alerts from anywhere on campus with the wearer’s identity and exact location.
SAFE
Signal Alert For Education
Wearable SAFE 3.1 badges and the SAFE + app. One press from anywhere on campus, and EPIC knows who needs help, where they are and which playbook to run.
From badge press to all clear.
SAFE · 1 of 5 · Wearables
A signal on every staff member.
SAFE 3.1 badges are worn, not mounted. Each one is personalized, so an alert always says who sent it, and uses industry-standard dual-button activation. Teacher microphones move through the building too.
SAFE isn’t a sixth box on the stack. It runs through every layer: the same network, badges and mics on the devices layer, EPIC’s campus map and the SAFE + app.
- Dual-button activation
- Personalized badges
- Teacher mics
SAFE · 2 of 5 · Location
EPIC finds the badge.
When a badge or mic is activated, EPIC uses the devices already installed — classroom speakers, InfoView displays, EPIC Kiosks, network devices and cameras — to locate it. Where three or more of their ranges overlap, EPIC has its spot.
EPIC pins it on the campus map, with the room and the person who sent it.
SAFE · 3 of 5 · Escalation
EPIC knows what, who and where.
EPIC turns the alert into one event with a type and a level. Staff can escalate from the badge itself, with no phone or radio needed.

SAFE · 5 of 5 · All clear
Resolved, and on the record.
When the office clears the event, EPIC returns signage, intercom and every notified device to normal, and saves the event with its timeline: who, where, what happened and when.
