Why Two-Way Emergency Communication Systems Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a fire in a multi-story building. Elevators stop working, and the only way to evacuate is by using the stairs. But what about individuals who are unable to use stairs due to mobility issues? Or what if the stairs are unusable because they are filled with smoke or flames? This is when two-way emergency communication systems become critical. Building and fire codes require a two-way emergency communication system at every passenger elevator bank on every floor above and below the level of exit discharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RATHTM <\/sup>by AVIRE provides trusted two-way emergency communication systems that help trapped building occupants communicate effectively with first responders, ensuring they receive help promptly during emergencies. These systems are required by a variety of safety codes such as National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)<\/a>, International Building Code (IBC)<\/a>, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)<\/a>, so choosing the right one is crucial for code compliance and safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
