We are pleased to announce the following new and improved features in our May 2026 release!
Genetec Access Control Integration
| Required tier | Available on the Corporate tier as an add-on. |
EmergencyOS now integrates with Genetec Access Control to automatically track who is onsite based on card reader activity. When employees badge in or out using configured Genetec readers, their onsite status is automatically updated in EmergencyOS.
Access activity is automatically synced every 15 minutes and when an evacuation, drill, or test is triggered. This ensures mustering lists are accurate and up to date during emergencies, without relying on manual check-ins or separate systems.
Key Benefits:
- Accurate mustering lists: Automatically reflects who is truly onsite during an emergency.
- Reduced manual effort: Eliminates manual tracking and spreadsheets by pulling sign-in/out data directly from Genetec.
- Fast, Flexible Setup: Simple, straightforward setup ensures that teams can configure and enable the integration quickly.
Adding Evacuees to an Active Mustering Event (Web Only)
| Required tier | Available on the Corporate tier. |
Responders (all users with Manage - Active Evacuation permissions) can now add evacuees to an active mustering event directly from the web interface.
Previously, mustering lists were fixed at the start of an event based on predefined participant groups. With this update, safety officers and admins can dynamically add individuals during an active evacuation, ensuring the live roster and headcount stay accurate as people arrive. They have the optional ability to send notifications when adding evacuees, including email and SMS.
This allows teams to account for individuals who were not included in the original emergency profile, improving visibility and control during real-time emergency situations.
Note:
This feature is only available on the EmergencyOS web platform. The EmergencyOS mobile app will be supported in a future release.
Key Benefits:
- Improved accountability: Ensure all individuals onsite can be tracked, even if they weren’t part of the original list.
- Better emergency response: Maintain an up-to-date, reliable headcount as people arrive at muster points.
- Real-time flexibility: Adapt to changing conditions during an evacuation without restarting or reconfiguring the event.
- More accurate reporting: Capture a complete record of all evacuees for post-event analysis and compliance.
- Simplified setup: Reduce the need to create multiple emergency profiles for different shifts or scenarios.
