Safe School Technology

SafeEVAC’s Security Technology & Evacuation Plan Software SafeEVAC™ started with a discussion on how to protect our nation’s children from school violence. Our mission is to honor life and equip people in emergency evacuations. As inventors, Michael Day and Michael Sandefur researched solutions and quickly realized there was no technology for intelligent evacuation of schools and other buildings. The innovators then set about creating a system for the evacuation of buildings, focusing on evacuation signage and intelligent evacuation planning software. To date, SafeEVAC™ has filed over 30 patent-pending applications on this transformative security technology.
