Enhancing Emergency Preparedness with Stratasite

In this episode of The Safety Gap, hosts Cassidy Shield and Karin Marquez  speak with Scott Lowry, co-founder and CEO of StrataSite, about improving emergency response through incident action plans. Scott shares how his 25-year law enforcement career led him to identify critical gaps in coordinated emergency response, particularly in the "plus one" period after the initial crisis.

Scott explains that while first responders are trained to neutralize immediate threats, the subsequent coordination across public safety agencies often lacks structured planning. StrataSite creates digital incident action plans that provide emergency dispatchers and command staff with real-time access to critical response information, enhancing situational awareness across all responding agencies.

The conversation highlights the integration between StrataSite and RapidSOS, showcasing how this technology partnership delivers emergency response data directly to 911 centers and first responders. Scott emphasizes that while response planning is essential, communities should equally prioritize prevention strategies, particularly in school settings where early intervention can prevent violence.
