Texas A&M University Texarkana’s TAMUT eduSafe mobile app provides rapid access to all emergency procedures normally located in bulky flipcharts without requiring a data connection. By incorporating relevant safety and security information into the app, TAMUT eduSafe ensures that personnel in all areas of any TAMUT facility can access their campus specific safety procedures. This expanded access will help users handle many of the situations in which they might find themselves regardless of a data connection. The main features of TAMUT eduSafe are:
oAccess to emergency procedures regardless of WiFi or data connection
oAnonymous reporting of any safety concerns
oEasier access to the TAMUT parking regulations
oMaps to our campuses and parking lots, and evacuation maps of our buildings
o“Request Security Escort” feature to call security to walk you to your car or class should you feel unsafe
oEasier access to the TAMUT’s annual safety report
oGreater access to TAMUT’s procedure manuals granting greater access and convenience to faculty and staff
Essentially, we view this app as an “in-hand” liaison between safety and security and the TAMUT community.
