The Origins of Alyssa’s Law

Alyssa’s Law is named in honor of , a 14-year-old student who tragically lost her life during the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The law stands as a powerful call to action, with a clear goal: to reduce law enforcement response time and improve communication in school emergencies.

By requiring the implementation of panic alarm systems in schools that alert Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), Alyssa’s Law is shaping the future of school safety, embedding rapid response technology into the foundation of school safety plans nationwide. Central to Alyssa’s Law is ensuring alerts reach dispatch directly and instantly—without internal routing delays—to give first responders the information they need to triage victims and save lives.

Why Our Ecosystem Approach Works

Emergency Management simplifies safety planning and makes preparedness achievable for today’s busy school environments. In the midst of a crisis, it provides full accountability—empowering staff to bring structure to chaos and make critical decisions with confidence.

With an ecosystem approach that unites preparation (e.g., drills), response (e.g., panic buttons), and recovery (e.g., reunification) into a single platform, schools can stop relying on fragmented solutions.

The result? Less panic, faster action, and better protection for students and staff. For a principal facing a lockdown, it’s the difference between scrambling across disconnected tools and having everything—alerts, maps, headcounts—readily available in one place.

Built for Everyday��Incidents, Too

While Alyssa’s Law was created in response to school shootings, panic buttons are used far more often for everyday incidents that still require immediate support. Staff regularly use panic alert tools to respond to:

• Medical emergencies
• Mental health crises
• Fights and student altercations
• Staff safety concerns

Panic buttons are a critical tool for daily school operations, not just worst-case scenarios.

Where is Alyssa’s Law Being Put Into Action?

Alyssa’s Law is gaining nationwide momentum, with Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington among the states that have enacted it. Additional states have recently passed the law, and legislation continues to be introduced and considered at both state and federal levels.
