Vanguard University Taps Titan HST For Emergency Mass Communication And COVID-19 Tracing, Helping To Provide Safety On Campus During Pandemic


NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Titan HST, a leading provider of next-gen emergency response systems, announced the use of its emergency mass communication system at Vanguard University in Costa Mesa to help safeguard students and faculty in the event of on-campus emergencies, natural disasters and COVID-19 exposures. As the nation looks to open back up from the pandemic lock-down, the need for an effective outbreak mitigation tool is crucial, and Titan HST has provided Vanguard with a turnkey solution for communicating to and screening on-campus students and employees.

Titan HST allows Vanguard University to pre-screen all students currently living on campus during the pandemic for symptoms, instantly identify and notify anyone exposed to an infected individual and implement density monitoring to set maximum occupancy levels by area. Titan then generates reporting to verify that all areas have been properly sanitized. If there is a confirmed case on campus, Titan HST allows the University to track the precise location of the infected individual and quickly implement quarantine and risk mitigation procedures. Vanguard University has also been leveraging Titan HST as a texting app to deliver food to students in quarantine on campus, making two-way communication with students easier than ever.

"Titan HST has been a critical app for our campus that allows us to streamline important and urgent information to students and staff in the event of an emergency," said Kent Ferrin, director of Campus Safety, Vanguard University. "We were previously using a system that was not interactive, whereas Titan HST enables communication between students in need and Campus Safety for immediate response. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, Titan HST has been a critical component of our workflow to facilitate contact tracing and quickly and efficiently message everyone in emergency situations. Having Titan HST in place and being prepared for any scenario gives us a sense of calm."

Vanguard University staff and students have also utilized Titan HST for stranger alerts or notifications regarding suspicious person(s) on campus, as well as flood and earthquake warnings and other safety issues.

The Titan HST system helps organizations reduce emergency response time through a host of cutting-edge technology features, including:

"We are thrilled that Vanguard University has chosen to utilize Titan HST. I personally witnessed several emergency situations during my college years, and those experiences stuck with me. I have been on a mission ever since to improve emergency communication and make safety accessible to all," said Vic Merjanian, CEO of Titan HST. "The response to emergencies on college campuses and elsewhere has been tragically inadequate. Lives are saved when response time is reduced. Titan HST reduces administration response time by 50 percent on average, enabling users to instantly communicate campus emergency alerts, lockdowns and broadcasts, survey users for their safety status and location, deliver real time instructions to individual users, and provide site-specific emergency materials."

Schools and high-occupancy venues across the country have implemented the Titan HST end-to-end security solution to maximize safety. From major voting sites during a tumultuous election to sporting facilities, Titan HST is becoming the standard for effective mass communication in crisis, as well as an outbreak mitigation tool. As Titan continues to help the nation open back up from a pandemic lock-down, its solution will become that much more crucial. For more information, visit www.titanhst.com.
