E.W.I.S

Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System (E.W.I.S)

An Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System (E.W.I.S) is essential for ensuring the safe and efficient evacuation of buildings during emergencies. Designed for large and complex facilities, E.W.I.S enables both automated and manual alerts, giving clear, audible instructions to occupants and allowing for effective, real-time communication between emergency personnel.

What is E.W.I.S?

E.W.I.S. is a comprehensive system that combines alert notifications with two-way intercommunication. It includes a network of speakers, alarms, control panels, and microphones to provide clear instructions across multiple areas of a facility. It allows emergency responders to communicate with people within the building, directing them safely out of harm’s way or informing them of specific actions to take.

Benefits of an E.W.I.S.

  • Immediate Emergency Alerts: E.W.I.S can be activated automatically in response to fire or other hazards, ensuring occupants are informed quickly through alarms and voice messages.
  • Clear Voice Instructions: Unlike traditional alarms, E.W.I.S delivers clear, verbal instructions, which are critical in high-stress situations to guide people safely to exits.
  • Two-Way Communication: The intercom function enables building wardens and emergency responders to communicate with each other and with occupants in real time, improving situational awareness and response coordination.
  • Flexible Zone Control: E.W.I.S allows emergency messages to be broadcasted to specific zones, ensuring the right areas receive the appropriate information based on the evolving situation.
