K-12: A Sanctuary of Learning and Safety

With a diverse set of communications needs, Charlotte Country Day School needed a versatile platform for campus day-to-day communication as well as emergency alerting.

The largest and oldest college in the Florida Panhandle finds a new use for Regroup’s suite of mass notification offerings to keep its community informed and safe from harm — both from expected natural risks and unexpected violent threats.

When it comes to one-off emergencies, such as a building closure, or ongoing concerns, including the COVID-19 pandemic response, the Wilmington University found the communications system it wanted with Regroup Mass Notification.

With more than 8,000 students, about 2,000 faculty members, and an additional 660 administrative staff members, Regis University recently faced a cyberattack known as a ransomware attack, which crippled its traditional ways of communicating with those thousands of people. It used Regroup Mass Notification to keep a steady flow of critical information during the attack and in the weeks that followed as telephone service and emails were restored.

Redlands Community College was already using Regroup for everyday communications. But, when an early ice storm crippled utilities on campus and in surrounding areas, they turned to Regroup to keep their students and faculty safe and informed.
