Last week marked the start to Summer, bringing rising temperatures across the country and the need in buildings for comfort cooling. The Summer months trend with having a higher abundance of Legionella bacteria in cooling tower systems in comparison to the other seasons of the year. Although the data suggests that rising temperatures can increase risk of Legionella bacteria amplification in cooling tower systems, there are ways to substantially reduce that risk.

Creating More Effective Lockdown and Armed Intruder Drills and Protocols with EverAlert!

With American Time's EverAlert system, you can be confident that you're providing your students and staff with the tools and information they need to be safe.

How? We're glad you asked...

"This System Changed Our School."
The Palmdale Aerospace Academy knew the EverAlert system would be a powerful communication tool -- but it's done more than they'd imagined.

When a school is located in "Aerospace Valley," you might assume that technology dominates operations. You could envision high-tech systems delivering everything at a moment's notice. What you may not imagine is how one of those systems could affect the culture of over 2500 students on campus. The staff at TPAA now have the ideal way to communicate with faculty, students and visitors with the same system that monitors their daily schedule – in some ways, changing the entire atmosphere at the school.

They have found that their EverAlerts don't just simplify and enhance their communication to staff and students; they make a statement to the many visitors their school hosts, and helps them look the part of a technology-oriented school.
