The Essence of nSide: Summer Conferences in Review

The Essence of nSide: Summer Conferences in Review

Our team has been on the move from one conference to another across Alabama, seeking to gather and provide information as to how we can better foster your school’s safety. nSide team members attended a multitude of events, all of which further the same common goal to promote safe and secure environments through efficient preparations. To share with you our experiences, we asked a series of questions among attendees from the nSide team. In recording their accounts, we hope you will gain insight to the essence of nSide and our genuine desire to fulfill your needs.

Interview Questions:

What were some general highlights of the conference and information you shared?

Were you surprised by any discussion, or able to better learn from your interaction within the event?

What did you find most rewarding about representing nSide at the conference?

TAASRO

The Alabama Association of School Resource Officers placed their 20th Annual “Safe Schools” training conference June 3–7, in Orange Beach, Alabama. The theme for the weekend was “Proactive ways to avert School Violence,” which covered a variety of topics, such as faculty awareness and precautionary methods to secure school safety. nSide School Safety Specialist, Proncey Robertson, volunteered a short summation.

  • “We had administrators, nurses, law enforcement, mental health workers, and social workers, all present with the interest of protecting our schools and learning more about how to work together as a collaborative team. In that course, our job is just to make sure they’re familiar with our platform and see if there’s any way we can better serve their communities and schools.”
  • “Probably one of the biggest challenges is that there’s so many people getting involved in school safety that still don’t know a lot about the tools that are available to them within the nSide School Safety Platform. A lot of our time was spent making sure they know where to find information within their Emergency Operations Plans. The more they’re involved in that the better, and we have to make sure they know how to gain access to those procedures.”
  • “Again, it’s an opportunity to interact with those folks who actually have to do the job on the ground. To learn what they are facing, what their challenges and concerns are, so that we can better react to their needs. I guess the biggest benefit of being at the conference is to learn, because we really do want to be a help. This is not just about selling them a product. It’s about giving them tools that they can actually use in a practical sense. So to do that, we have to talk to them one-on-one and learn about their needs.”

ASTA

The Alabama School Transportation Association’s 77th Annual Conference took place June 3–7, in Mobile, Alabama. The conference provided training for personnel involved in local transportation programs, as well as discussion over hands-on topics. nSide Account Manager, Alan Bentley, shared with us his takeaways from the event.

  • “The conference provides its members an opportunity to attend educational, as well as hands-on, sessions dealing with current school bus transportation topics. I had a booth at the conference representing nSide|Fleet™, our tracking and routing hardware/software for school buses. So, some of the general topics I covered were live bus tracking, route history, bus routing software, how trackers work, and our all-in-one cost.”
  • “I was surprised to receive a question about possible access to bus cameras live, while the bus is on route. Some districts have been interested in this, in case of an emergency, but it’s one of those things that could cost an arm and a leg to accomplish. Since the question has been asked, we’ve taken measures to research with one of our partners and pair together with another company. We’ve been striving to help provide solutions for this feature within nSide|Fleet™. So, now, there’s two options that will allow users access to camera feeds on buses en route.”
  • “What I enjoy is the relationship building aspect. I think it is important to have a strong, trusting relationship. When you reach that point, people feel comfortable enough to call on you.”

ALET

Alabama Leaders in Educational Technology held their summer conference on June 4th, in Hoover Alabama. nSide CTO , John Sercel visited the event and spoke well of their objective for “Alabama EdTech leaders to discuss system-level challenges and solutions.”

  • “What we’ve been talking about is the new Technical Point of Contact program to get technology leaders at different school districts access to nSide organization administration. So, they’ll be able to manage their own users and districts in the nSide School Safety Platform. We had pamphlets there, as well, to generate interest in Verkada cameras and ask them about what their current camera systems are.”
  • “It was interesting to learn what they knew about their camera systems. Schools will have a wide variety of cameras from all different manufacturers, some of them are going to be older, some of them have limited connectivity to local DVR systems, some may be newer and have web views. But the Verkada are much more secure, use newer technologies, and connect automatically to the web. They even connect to where they don’t have to have any other technical infrastructure on-site. So, they can plug these cameras in and access them through the website, and it’s a newer generation of camera technology with a lot less direct technical work.”
  • “Any time we get out in the field, with a different group of people connected to the nSide platform, it fills in a little more of what we, here in the office, don’t know. We interact with individual users and, a lot of times, we don’t get to see the big picture. It’s very helpful for us to get out and just hear from a completely different group of potential users. We get the opportunity to understand what their problems are, what they deal with in managing their own systems, and how we could address some of their needs.”

SSA

School Superintendents of Alabama hosted a summer conference for Meaningful Collaboration and Networking June 16–19 in Point Clear, AL. They are a professional association, geared towards school system executives and their leadership teams. nSide Founder and CEO, Steve McKinney, sat down with us to offer his perspective.

  • “More than anything, I wanted time spent in person and the opportunity to cultivate relationships and hear a lot of their problems. We did talk a lot about security in the form of physical measures, like cameras and access control, because that’s on a lot of people’s minds. But we also talked about things like school buses and the issues that they face with logistics and transportation, which was a bit of a departure from traditional school safety conversations. So, it traversed across a wide array of topics. But that’s what I hoped it would do, because every district is different. Every relationship is different. And when you reach the point, with a superintendent or any client, when they’re able to view you as a confidant and a partner, then you’ve achieved something.”
  • “So, this is the first time that a superintendent (and several of them did it) brought their architects over to meet with us. And that was different. Some of what I learned in that engagement is that a lot of the new schools are moving towards a different type of power system. They’ve recognized that this Digital Age is rapidly moving, which means they’re in need of not only normal power structure in buildings but also low voltage power structures. All of that leads to having additional sensors, effectively put inside the operations of these facilities as they become more and more ubiquitous in the new power message.”
  • “For the most part, these are tried and true friends or people that I’ve worked with for years. So, it’s a very cordial kind of environment, even though it’s formal. When it’s that way, it’s less about your introductory message, and it’s more about their day to day problems. Anytime you’re building a relationship, it is about being a person that they can confide in, in such a way that no one is. To the extent where if you don’t have a solution then it’s between you and them, but if you know of any possible solution, you offer it, regardless of whether it’s beneficial to you or not. And that’s what we try to cultivate. It’s good to have a common mission with people that you genuinely do care about.”

We are always grateful for the opportunity to exchange ideas, and we strive to do so among others that share our affinity for refining school safety. nSide firmly believes that growth is spurred on through active participation of community members and school administrators and staff alike. So, we encourage you to look into any of the above organizations for future events, or join our community page for further discussion!

As is discernible throughout this collection, we feel that conferences are best met with problem-solution mentalities and client-first care. If you happen to see us at an upcoming event, we encourage you to continue getting to know us and the greater depths of our mission. We hope this post is valuable to your understanding of our team at nSide, and we look forward to the new school year ahead!

Is Narcan Administration Part of Your Emergency Operation Plan?

Is Narcan Administration Part of Your Emergency Operation Plan?

CBS News released a story discussing the newest precautionary methods to prevent opioid overdose among schools in Alabama. In 2015, more than 400 overdose deaths were linked to opioid usage in state. Faculty in schools have taken initiative to instill widespread training and preparation of Narcan (naloxone), a medication designed to reverse opioid overdose, in order to ready themselves in the event of a medical emergency.

How Narcan (naloxone) is Issued

Narcan administered in school systems requires simple instructions, provided verbally by the device to the user. Although there are multiple methods, EVZIO is the chosen auto-injection device that faculty and emergency personnel are being trained to use. Once injected into the outer thigh, the device automates a countdown to secure the time necessary for disbursement.

How can you better familiarize yourself with the signs and symptoms of opioid overdose? How does naloxone inverse these effects? The National Institute of Drug Overdose produced the video below to provide guidance on these topics.

nSide in Action

nSide — The School Safety Platform is a crucial organizational element and aid to enhance school safety. With our virtual mapping process, your facility receives immediate access to location of medical kits, emergency exits, campus layout, and more. With digitization of these features and documentation of safety exercises in the EOP section, adjustments to preparation are easily manageable.

When developing a new procedure, it can often be difficult to establish a pragmatic method with adequate support. However, the nSide team is here to help. We encourage you to plan, prepare, and practice guided approaches that ensure safety for your organization and community. These three steps are recycled endlessly, to secure the emergency operation plan and strengthen the alertness and response of your team.

  • Plan your emergency procedure, to establish a firm foundation and smooth implementation of policy.
  • Prepare, by assessing any resources necessary to fulfill your plan.
  • Practice the plan you have constructed and fine-tune any miscued steps.

Is Narcan administration part of your school’s EOP?

The Emergency Operation Plan portion of nSide is where the school safety and emergency planning team document safety plans related to various crises and events that could potentially happen. Has an opioid overdose been considered as a part of your team’s emergency planning? Who would be in charge of the different elements of response in the case of such an event? Who is trained to administer Narcan to a person who has overdosed? Would you and your team know where to find a kit in the building if it was needed?

Introducing new mapping icon

With so much attention being brought to the opioid crisis nationwide, and proactive training by some schools in Alabama, the nSide team has created a new mapping icon for Narcan. This icon can be used to quickly designate the location of devices and kits on the map of your facility. Simply contact our support team on our live chat to get this added to the Emergency Equipment layer on your map.

nSide Severe Weather Awareness

nSide Severe Weather Awareness

One thing we know for certain is that severe weather of one kind or another is a regular occurrence. In fact, as I write this, a line of severe weather is bearing down on the state from the west.

While this is not a risk you can ever prevent entirely, you can minimize the potential risk of harm by planning (using nSide Map and EOP), practicing regular severe weather drills (using nSide EOP), and by maintaining severe weather awareness, to make sure you have the information you need to make the best possible decisions before and during a potentially dangerous weather event.

With your nSide Map and EOP, we try to cover each of these areas of weather safety preparedness. With nSide you can plan severe weather shelter locations (Map), prepare detailed Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs) for the event of severe weather and reunification and recovery after, and complete severe weather drills (EOP).

And today, we’re introducing Severe Weather Awareness to the nSide platform.

The first two modules of weather awareness are live weather alerts from the National Weather Service, and Weather Radar. These are available today in the Maps menu.

Live Weather Alerts from the National Weather Service in the nSide Map
Live Weather Radar

As we continue to build the platform for school safety, we’d like to understand more about how you prepare for and monitor severe weather events that may affect your school and community. And how you train or prepare for severe weather, by drills or other planning.

As always, we’re open to hear any way we can help you to be as prepared and successful as possible as you serve your students and the community.

Automated External Defibrillator(AED) on the wall
April 20, 2017

Would you know where the closest AED is located in the case of an emergency?

Would you know where the closest AED is located in the case of an emergency?

The Today Show on NBC recently produced a story about Bob Harper from “The Biggest Loser” and a heart attack he experienced while training in his gym. He survived, primarily because an automated external defibrillator (AED) was located in the gym. These are devices that help save lives in this type of event by delivering “a dose of electric current to the heart.”

However, if you needed to locate one in your school, church, or facility, would you know where to look? With less than 3 percent of Americans trained in CPR, the survival rate of a heart attack drops to 6 percent if no one assists the victim. Simply knowing where an AED is located can dramatically help those rates. The video below is an example that puts people to the test in a gym setting:

An AED saved Bob Harper, but could you find one in an emergency? Celebrity fitness trainer Bob Harper says an AED – an automatic external defibrillator – helped save his life when he…w

How nSide Helps

When nSide is used to map a facility, lifesaving safety equipment like AEDs become instantly visible, highlighted, and searchable in accessible digital floor plans used for planning, safety drills, review, and emergency access. When the Data team visits your site, they will visually inspect every aspect of the building and make sure all AEDs are located and represented on the map.

Planning, Preparing, and Practicing

nSide firmly believes that planning, preparing, and practicing concepts are key to thriving in a safe and productive environment. By planning, all relevant stakeholders can team together to assess their current resources and put together an executable plan for dealing with an emergency. By preparing, planners can make sure they have all of the tools they need to execute the plan. Lastly, by practicing, the organization can execute the plan they have put together, noting inefficiencies along the way and adjusting accordingly. These three concepts are a never-ending circle, and should be put to use frequently in order to make sure the emergency operation plan can be as effective as possible.

Use Case for AEDs

In the case of AEDs, seconds are precious. We can assume in a real-life emergency, staff and responders will not have time to pull up the nSide map to find the closest AED. This is why we believe the planning, preparing, and practicing concepts and repetition are essential in a small-scale, single individual type of event.

nSide is a tool to help organizations and their staff better understand place and their surroundings. Each organization should use their Emergency Operation Plans in order to understand their buildings/campuses (i.e. “Where do I need to go to assist the person in need?”), the resources needed for this type of response (i.e. “I need to use an AED for the victim, and where are they located throughout the building?”), and who is best qualified to respond to the situation (i.e. “What skills do staff members possess?”).

To be better prepared, we recommend regularly reviewing the Emergency Operation Plans with your team, having the nSide map continuously updated, and staff skills surveys and user profiles being completed for all staff members.

How Have You Prepared for This Type of Situation?

We would like to understand more how the use of an AED in an event has been used with nSiders. Has your organization experienced a similar situation? How did you respond? What do you do to train or prepare for this situation? In the discussion topic on the nSide Community, let us know how you would respond in the case of an AED needing to be used.

nSide Supports FEMA Sponsored Virtual Table-Top Active Shooter Drill

nSide Supports FEMA Sponsored Virtual Table-Top Active Shooter Drill

nSide was invited by Franklin, Southhampton, Isle of Wight, VA Local Emergency Planning Committee and Paul D. Camp Community College, Franklin, VA to participate and support a FEMA sponsored Table-Top Active Shooter Drill at Paul D. Camp Community College, Franklin, VA campus on 01/12/16.The exercise, facilitated by Western Tidewater Medical Reserve Corps, was a virtual table-top, re-enactment held simultaneously with other organizations across the country. The scenario was an Active Shooter simulation occurring on campus during a busy school day. Over 80 drill attendees participated which included 5 community college departments, WTHD and PDCCC executive leadership, Emergency Management experts, Franklin VA Police, Franklin VA Fire, local Chapter of the American Red Cross, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FBImany local k-12 school officials, and others.

The scope of the exercise was to focus on the role of each organization in response to potential consequences of an active shooter scenario, as well as the interdisciplinary and interagency coordination both at the local, regional, state, and Federal level. The drill stepped through a series of discussion based modules with learning, collaboration and discussion questions and goals so all attendees could better understand each group’s role, become better prepared and visualize the response and recovery processes. During the drill exercise, the facilitators engaged all participants about how best to respond to and disseminate new information constantly coming in via phone calls, texts and tweets from students, faculty and first responders on site.

The team stressed the following primary goals throughout the exercise:

– Activating emergency plans and procedures

– Appropriately interfacing with the command structure

– Developing public information and media plans to handle concerns

– Determining resource needs of the community and potential sources of support and requesting resources, as appropriate

– Identifying coordination and policy issues regarding multi-agency coordination systems.

All attendees were focused on preparing for an active shooter incident and defining and honing the 5 mission critical core capabilities:

– Prevention

– Protection

– Mitigation

– Response

– Recovery

nSide provided a campus and building visualization application that added clarity to the locations of entries and exits, location of the shooter and how best to respond. nSide web and mobile versions of the software were projected on a large display screen, depicting full campus views and then zooming to the area of the building at the center of the incident. The campus and building visualization application showed entrances into the building with 360 pictures of each room, walk throughs of the building, critical fire and medical assets, identification of other potential dangers including hazardous materials, gases and contaminants. Additionally, nSide’s campus visualization mobile app showed rooms as they were cleared with casualty and fatality icons to mark where recovery teams needed to respond. Attendees were very impressed by visualizations provided by nSide. Several attendees stated the maps provided excellent information throughout the event to best understand the location and what was happening as the response was underway and how recovery would be rolled out. nSide provided an excellent resource to help with decision making and planning.

We applaud these efforts to create a realistic event for learning and using innovative new technologies like nSide to be better prepared to respond more effectively and efficiently. These types of training exercises make a dramatic impact on saving lives, minimizing the impact of an incident and protecting property in case of an emergency..

We thank Paul D. Camp Community College, Franklin, Southampton, Isle of Wight, VA Local Emergency Planning Committee and Western Tidewater Medical Reserve Corps for allowing nSide to support this exercise.

Proactively Monitoring Social Media

Proactively Monitoring Social Media

Baldwin County Schools, AL is responding to threats of school violence posted via social media this week. While local authorities believe there is no credibility to the threat, school administrators and first responders are taking the necessary steps to ensure security on campus:http://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf/2016/01/shootout_threat_at_robertsdale.html#incart_river_home

In the age of the online social community, many students’ first stop for voicing adolescent frustrations is the World Wide Web. There, followers hundreds of miles away from “reality” can provide a sense of confirmation, validity and connection. Additional attractions, like the perception of anonymity and a lack of consequences for conduct online, serve as justifications for their behavior. (1)

Over the recent years the US has witnessed a surge in the number of precautionary campus lockdowns and school closings. Overwhelmingly, these actions are taken by central office administration because of threats posted on social media.

Key Points for K-12 Campus Social Media:

  • Virtual Vigilance — In many cases a simple search engine ping will generate results for posts related to a certain topic or location. Designate a staff member to comb through online posts and social media as part of their daily roles and responsibilities.
  • Law Enforcement Liaison — While many K-12 districts have the benefit of on campus School Resource Officers, or School Police Officers, many do not. Regardless, each campus should have a point of contact that communicates with law enforcement and other first responders in the community on a regular basis, especially when it pertains to student behavior on social media.
  • Parent Communication — Parents are arguably your most demanding stakeholders and your most valuable resources at the K-12 level. Keep them in the loop on behavioral changes or peer issues and they should return the favor. You might also be able to enlist assistance from them with monitoring social media outlets.

Remember, the intent of terroristic threats is to create fear and instability in the status quo. As long as we remain vigilant, communicate with our first responders and strive to positively impact the root of the problem for the kids that need our help, we can continue to ensure a safe learning environment for all.

Unlocking the Potential of IoT with nSide

Unlocking the Potential of IoT with nSide

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term coined in 1999 [1] to describe the growing field of everyday devices that can be internet connected. Prominent examples are the Nest Learning Thermostat, Amazon Echo, and Philips Hue. These devices, and scores of others now on the market; will let a person monitor and control their home HVAC, turn off and on; or even set the color of their lighting; and issue voice commands to control systems or order the next latest gadget from Amazon.

The rapid proliferation of these new devices create a threefold problem:

  • interoperability between vendors
  • centralized data collection
  • meaningful data visualization

We humbly submit the unbiased opinion that nSide can solve these problems, and our solution will include growing IoT support throughout 2016.

nSide’s primary focus is providing innovative data visualization with a spatial reference — as of this writing the data, which can by dynamic, consists primarily of styled icons representing fixed or mobile assets; overlaid on top of building floor plans and street or satellite maps. While the assets may be mobile; the attributes of those assets are generally static: serial number, user manual, recent photo, name, etc. With nSide’s upcoming IoT integration; nSide will support dynamic data attributes such as temperature, humidity, voltage, color, etc. As a vendor agnostic solution, nSide can aggregate dynamic data from multiple vendors. nSide will provide published API’s for customer integrations, and a list pre-built integrations.

nSide is a cloud based solution, hosted in robust data centers with multi-site redundancies. With dedicated iOS and Android apps and a powerful web-based, platform independent interface; nSide provides a centralized, high availability data collection and presentation mechanism.

One of nSide’s core features is making existing data much more useful by presenting it visually in a meaningful context. Since humans are primarily visual, and we like to think in spatial terms; nSide leverages our GIS expertise and mapping to present data in new and novel ways. Compare nSide to the traditional database in the example of HVAC data management. A facility may have several HVAC unit, each with unique info; and important info like the user manual, service records, etc. In a traditional database this data would be organized by a user defined name (East first floor main HVAC unit 1), or a unique identifier such as the serial number. While all of the important information is there, it is not presented in a context that makes it easy for humans to visually process the information and, for instance, plan the route through the building to check on each unit; or even to know intuitively where each unit is physically located within the facility. This example can be further expanded to include a new maintenance employee. Suppose the new employee needs to service “East First Floor Main HVAC Unit 1.” While the employee can intuit the unit is located on the east end and serves the first floor; the employee cannot infer the exact location of the unit as it may be on the roof, outside the building; or in a maintenance area. Enter nSide — the unit with all of the same attributes is visible in the context of a floor plan of the building. The system is also searchable, so the unknown unit can be easily pinpointed on the map. By using a spatial context, nSide provides meaningful data visualization for all data provided; especially dynamic data. Continuing the example of the HVAC unit; it is now possible to visually assess the real-time temperatures and status of each room and HVAC unit in the context of the building floorplan. Compared to a generic dashboard, the spatial context exponentially increases the usefulness and intuitiveness of the data.

As the list of available IoT products and applications grow, the usefulness will be determined by the ease with which data can be accessed; and whether the data is presented in a meaningful context. nSide provides a spatially referenced context which is visually intuitive; and by maintaining a vendor agnostic approach, can bridge the gap left by disparate vendor systems.
