GeoComm Featured on WHO 13 News: Advancing School Safety in Iowa

Iowa schools are strengthening emergency preparedness with advanced 9-1-1 mapping and call-forwarding technology designed to give first responders faster, clearer situational awareness when every second matters.

Through the statewide Critical Incident Mapping initiative, more than 1,400 schools across Iowa now have access to accurate, up-to-date indoor maps that support improved communication between school staff, 9-1-1 centers, and emergency responders during critical incidents.

The technology allows emergency calls placed from within a school to be forwarded with precise location information, helping responders quickly identify where help is needed and coordinate an effective response. By taking a proactive, statewide approach, Iowa is helping ensure schools and public safety agencies are better prepared before an emergency occurs.
