OnScene Technologies builds real-time, multi-agency emergency communication tools that close the gap between an emergency and the people it affects.

Share911 (US) and Share999 (UK) deliver one report to everyone who needs it — on site and responding.

Yesterday, when the power went out in his elementary school the middle of the school day, an Arizona Principal and his district leadership team faced their own "what do you do?" challenge. With 100 staff and nearly 700 K-5 students in the dark, normal network and communication systems unavailable, the building-wide air conditioning off and an outdoor temperature of 100 degrees, the Principal turned to Share911's Messaging feature on his mobile device to communicate and keep everyone informed from start to finish - and they did an outstanding job!

Today is the first day of school across the Bay Area.

Every dot on this map is a school where, starting this morning, a teacher who sees something can reach every other adult on campus in one tap — and get an answer back.

66 of them. From Archie Williams in San Anselmo down to Mid-Peninsula in Menlo Park, across the island in Alameda, up into the Oakland hills, and 34 of them inside Hayward Unified alone.

Some of these schools have been doing this a long time. St. Joseph Notre Dame in Alameda turned Share911 on in November 2013 — thirteen school years ago. Hayward Unified followed in July 2014 and has never turned it off.

None of them bought it hoping to use it. That is the whole point. The value of knowing exactly who is on campus, who is accounted for, and who still needs to be found is that it is already running on an ordinary Monday in August — long before anything happens.

To every principal, secretary, custodian, aide, bus driver and teacher who walked back through those doors today: have a great year. We are glad to be on the roster.

About 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur in workplaces across the United States each year. This accounts for roughly 13% of all workplace fatalities, making it one of the leading medical emergencies in occupational settings.

Medical emergencies are the most common events that occur on Share911. And some of them, are very time critical, such as a cardiac arrest. That's when you discover that Carol in Payroll is volunteer on her local ambulance corps. and is CPR/AED trained...and comes to help because she received a Share911 Medical Emergency alert on her desktop and mobile devices.

On Thursday morning at 8:30, a magnitude 3.8 earthquake hit the Hayward Fault, four kilometers north of San Leandro.

Nobody was hurt. Nothing was damaged. About 7,200 people told USGS they felt it. Two aftershocks followed within the hour.

Within minutes, schools along that stretch of fault were running Share911 — moving occupants out, accounting for everyone, closing every channel with All Clear. Nobody scheduled that drill.

Here is what makes this morning worth studying rather than celebrating.

These schools are between school years. Classes across the East Bay resume next week. This morning those buildings held staff, not students.

Now run the same quake seven days later.

California law says no high school may start before 8:30 a.m. So on a school day, 8:30 is not a quiet moment in a quiet building. It is the bell. Buses unloading, hallways full, attendance not yet taken — thousands of kids in the one place a roster cannot find them.

We have fifty locations along this stretch of the Hayward Fault. The closest sits half a mile from this morning's epicenter. On a school day they hold roughly 30,000 students and staff, with another 35,000 parents and guardians who start driving toward those campuses within minutes.

And under California Government Code 3100, every public school employee is a disaster service worker. They do not leave. They stay with the kids until a district official releases them.

So the obligation is not only to warn people. It is to answer three questions fast — who is on site, who is accounted for, and who has been released — and to be able to show it afterward.

That is the job we built Share911 for: it reaches everyone on site at once and turns the alert into a two-way roll call, so "is everyone out?" gets answered in seconds, by the people standing in the parking lot.

USGS models a magnitude 7.0 on this same fault: 52 miles of rupture, 800 deaths, 18,000 injuries.

This morning was the rehearsal, with an almost empty house.

Next week the house is full.

A week ago I wrote about how the campus alert at Old Dominion went out after the attack was already over.

Here's the part that should worry every safety director reading this: the delay wasn't in deciding to alert.

The police chief ordered the alert at 10:44:08. It reached campus at 10:48:25.

Four minutes and seventeen seconds — after the call was made, by a chief standing feet from the scene, with six delivery channels already paid for and configured.

Cooley found why. ODU let multiple people across multiple departments authorize emergency notifications, which "created some misalignment regarding who was responsible for sending emergency alerts and the content of those alerts." So the order went out, and then people had to work out who owned it, and what it should say, and who would type it.

Most organizations I talk to have this exact structure and don't know it. They've bought a system, tested the sirens twice a year, and never once measured the interval between someone deciding to warn people and people actually being warned. That interval is the only number that matters, and almost nobody knows theirs.

Every second in that gap is spent on a question — who sends this? — that should have been answered years earlier, in writing, when nobody was under stress.

That's why Share911 puts reporting in the hands of the person who sees it. No approval chain between the emergency and the alert: one report, and everyone on site and every responding agency gets it at the same moment. The decision and the message are the same action.

If you run safety somewhere, here's a free exercise for Monday: find out what your number is. Not your vendor's SLA. Yours — from "we need to tell people" to a phone buzzing in someone's pocket.

A fire tore through Awel Y Mor Primary School in Port Talbot last week. Four fire stations, breathing apparatus, a turntable ladder, black smoke pouring from the windows. Crews weren't clear of the scene until nearly 1pm.

Everyone got out. Staff running the Lots of Tots holiday club evacuated dozens of toddlers calmly and safely, and they deserve every bit of the praise they've had.

But I keep thinking about the mental model this breaks.

Most people don't worry about fires in schools, because most fires in schools are small and contained. Alarm sounds, everyone walks to the field, back inside in twenty minutes. That's the version the plan is built around.

This wasn't that version. Flames through the windows, scaffolding on the building, and a room full of two-year-olds — during the holidays, when the children in the building aren't on your normal roster and half the adults aren't your normal staff.

When a fire stops being routine, the questions change. Not "did the alarm sound." It did. The questions become: where is the fire relative to where I am, and which way do I move? Is everyone out? If someone isn't, where are they, and are they hurt?

An alarm can't answer any of that. It's one bell, one message, and it only speaks in one direction. Zone-aware, two-way alerting sends the fire's location to the people near it and lets anyone report back that they're out, or that they're not. That's the job we built Share999 for.

That gap — the people inside who can't see what you can see, and the ones you can't see at all — is what we work on every day at OnScene Technologies.

Improving the outcome of emergencies.

07/31/2026

An independent report on the March 12 attack at Old Dominion University was released this week. Buried in its timeline is something everyone who works in emergency notification should sit with.

10:41 — a gunman enters a classroom in Constant Hall and opens fire on an ROTC class.
10:42 — Lt. Col. Brandon Shah fights him. Cadets rush him and disarm him. Shah is critically wounded.
10:43:07 — a cadet pulls the fire alarm. The building empties.
10:44:08 — the police chief orders an emergency alert.
10:48:25 — the alert goes out.

By the time the campus mass notification system said anything, the attack had been over for more than five minutes. The fastest warning system in that building was a fire alarm — a device that can only say "leave" — pulled by a cadet who had just helped stop a shooter.

ODU wasn't unequipped. They had SMS, voice, email, app push, a website banner, and outdoor speakers. Three of the report's twelve recommendations are about notification anyway:

Put alerting authority in one department. Multiple people across the university could authorize an alert, which the report says "created some misalignment regarding who was responsible."

Get more of the community into the system. Students were enrolled by default. Faculty and staff had to opt in.

And this: "evaluate and implement supplemental emergency notification capabilities to reach individuals on or near campus who may not be enrolled in the ODU Alert System."

That last line is the whole problem in one sentence. Every campus, every office, every venue has people inside it right now who aren't in the alert database — visitors, contractors, parents, vendors, the person delivering lunch. To the system built to protect them, they don't exist.

That's the job we built Share911 for: one report reaches everyone on site and the responding agencies at the same time, and people can report back — safe, hurt, what they're seeing. And it's why we built Share911 Instant: one QR code on the wall. No app, no account, no enrollment. If you're there, you're reachable.

Nothing in a report brings Lt. Col. Shah back. The people who ended that attack were the people already in the room — as they almost always are. The least we owe them is a system that reaches them before it's over.

Saturday night in Edmonton, tens of thousands of people watched a thunderstorm end a Post Malone concert three songs in.

Weather is nobody's fault. What happened next is worth studying.

The storm went from a breeze to sideways rain in about five minutes. Fans were sent to the concourse for what was announced as a rain delay. What was actually happening: a tornado warning just west of the city, emergency alerts warning of baseball-sized hail, and 30mm of rain falling in a single hour.

Then the information stopped. For twenty minutes, people stood packed in the concourse in ankle-deep water, listening to hail hammer the building. In some sections they were chanting. In others there was panic — crowd surges against gates that were still closed, and at least one reported rib injury from the crush. When a crowd hears nothing, every section fills the silence for itself.

Here's the part I can't stop thinking about. Refund emails reached every fan automatically — straight to the phone in their pocket. The infrastructure to instantly reach every single person in that stadium existed, and it worked perfectly. It was used for the money.

Nobody used a channel like that to tell people what was coming, where to shelter, or when the gates would open. A PA system can't follow a crowd into a concourse during a thunderstorm. And with Edmonton police reporting an exceptionally high volume of 911 calls across the city that night, the people inside were on their own for information.

A concert crowd is the ultimate temporary population — there for three hours, then gone. That's the job we built Instant for: a QR code on the ticket or the concourse wall that stays dormant until something is happening. Scan it, and you're getting live updates from the venue — what's coming, where to shelter, when the gates open. No app to download, no signup in advance.

That gap — the people nearby who are never told in time — is what we work on every day at OnScene Technologies.
