Morse Watchmans, the industry pioneer in key control and asset management systems, adds emergency management to its long list of core competencies with the presentation of its Emergency Key Grab (EKG) Kit at ISC West, April 10-12 2024 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas.
The EKG Kit, designed to facilitate swift emergency response in the event of a facility lockdown, will be on display at booth #11109 alongside a range of the company’s pioneering key control and asset management solutions.
Crisis preparedness solution
“In a crisis scenario, time is of the essence as every second first responders waste locked out of a building is a second lost that could have been spent saving lives,” said Tim Purpura, VP of Global Sales and Marketing, Morse Watchmans.
“That’s why we created the EKG Kit, to provide facilities of all types with a comprehensive solution for improved crisis preparedness and emergency management.”
KeyWatcher Touch System
Using a unique PIN code or other provided credentials, emergency personnel can swiftly retrieve the required keys
At the heart of the EKG Kit is a one-module or greater KeyWatcher Touch System. The KeyWatcher Touch stores facility keys in an electronic cabinet, only to be accessed by those with the proper permissions (i.e., facility managers and first responders).
Using a unique PIN code or other provided credentials, emergency personnel can swiftly retrieve the required keys, such as those for locked rooms or secured areas, enabling them to promptly enter and address the situation.
Fast, protected access
In addition to the KeyWatcher Touch, the EKG Kit also includes additional materials and support required to provide first responders with fast, protected access to facility keys in the event of an active shooter, natural disaster, or other emergency.
With every complete EKG deployment, facilities benefit from both a controlled, known location for master keys as well as the implementation of a complete key control policy developed with the help of Morse Watchmans experts. This significantly improves response times and effectiveness during critical incidents and gives stakeholders peace of mind, knowing that the space they are occupying is equipped with robust security measures to handle emergencies efficiently.
