Brought to you by Raptor Technologies, the leader in school safety software. Raptor Alert provides the latest emergency notification technology including a panic alert system to instantly notify staff and first responders that emergency assistance is needed.

So a swipe feature helps eliminate opportunities for false alerts. For those districts following the standard response protocol, Raptor is officially licensed to offer the I Love You Guys Foundation's terminology and iconography within the application. Compliant with Alissa's Law alerts can be initiated from any web enabled device including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and desktop computers. Users can initiate campus wide emergency notifications for critical incidents such as lockdown or maybe an evacuation. Pressing the button automatically sends detailed situation specific alerts so that everyone knows how to respond. The situation specific notifications are sent via push notifications, text, phone, email, and desktop notifications.

RAFTA alert is compatible with all standard public safety answering points and emergency calling infrastructure and is also rapid SOS ready. When a user initiates an alert via Raptor Alert, the software uses the device's GPS data to provide the user's location where a school has configured a geofence, the dispatchable address of the geofence is also included. Critical context about caller and the emergency is delivered immediately to the nine one one center via rapid SOS, including the name of the person initiating the alert, The type of emergency such as a lockdown or evacuation, the precise campus location and dispatchable address of the school. And since there are many incidents that happen on a day to day basis, but don't require a campus wide response, wrap Alert features a team assist function. Raptor team assist operates in the same manner as Rapt alert and provides configurable alert types for localized incidents as well as their own distribution lists. During any type of emergency, staff can create group messages for two way communication within the app, which allows staff to share information about the situation, their real time GPS location, direct first responder resources efficiently and save time.

A Gordian assessment prepared for the Board of Regents puts the deferred maintenance backlog at Louisiana's public colleges at $4 billion. Buildings in the LSU and University of Louisiana systems average 64 years old, compared with 53 years for the community and technical colleges. Those findings now sit alongside a $1.25 billion capital request covering 73 projects.

  • 01Louisiana's state buildings are 70% concentrated on public postsecondary campuses, making higher education the primary owner of state-owned facility inventory.
  • 02The University of Louisiana System has the largest share of highest-risk buildings (over 50 years old) at 35%, while the community and technical college system leads in low-risk buildings at 22%.
  • 03The $1.25 billion capital outlay request covers 73 construction projects but measures construction and new work, not the $4 billion deferred maintenance backlog, representing different funding categories.
