With the push of a button, immediately and simultaneously notify all others in your network of a present threat or emergency based on the level of its severity.

Time and again, survivors of school shootings say it was the simple act of hiding behind a locked door that saved them.

After studying the issue, though, it became clear that most schools simply don’t have a way of immediately and simultaneously alerting everyone on campus that there’s an imminent threat. 

Now there is.

Seconds Matter in an Emergency

With MAS for Schools, the amount of time elapsed from when a threat is noticed to when children are moved to a safe area can be reduced from minutes to seconds.

A teacher, a child or a family member may need immediate assistance but does not want to lock down the school or contact the police.

There are all types of threats that are possible at schools and with family members. 

A swarm of bees, wild animals, a fight, an injury, severe weather, etc. MAS allows for the issuance of medium or minor alerts, as well.

Violence in schools is the new normal.

There have been 387 school shootings since 1992 and the frequency is increasing at an alarming rate. 
In the 1960s there were 16 school shooting incidents and there have already been 46 school shooting incidents since 2010. 
Some get national attention, some do not. StopTheShootings.org has compiled the most recent since 1992.

An Increasing Reality of Violence

The number of shootings on school campuses in the U.S is increasing rapidly. Sadly, people committing acts of violence against students and faculty have become common. We can almost be sure that there will be another school shooting. 

Be Better Prepared to Minimize Effects.

While we cannot stop the next accident or the next tragic occurrence, we can better prepare for it and minimize its effects. Mobile Alert Software™ (MAS™) accomplishes this inexpensively, quickly, and efficiently by utilizing the device we all now possess — the cell phone.

I am a software developer and have been for over 20 years.


Mobile devices became the obvious answer for a few reasons:

In a country where cell phones outnumber people, it is time for us to use this common valuable resource to SAVE LIVES.

Having been a software developer for 20 years, I felt that I was the perfect person to undertake this project, so I began to create MAS to make our communities safer.
