Abstract
Students are susceptible to accidents, violence, injuries, and other health-related
concerns, which are bound to happen anytime and anywhere. With a large student
population that exceeds 10,000 students in a regular school year, Central Luzon State
University (CLSU) is facing several challenge. Thus, the university is struggling to respond
quickly and effectively to student needs, emergencies, and safety concerns within the
campus premises. While the Infirmary and University Security Force (USF) are available
to handle health and security issues, the lack of accessible communication channels for
students to seek assistance during emergencies remains a significant concern. Given this
notion, this study was designed to develop and implement an Emergency Alert and
Response System for CLSU. The system comprised of two distinctive platforms: a mobile
application that enables students and other users to send emergency alerts swiftly and
effectively, to which users can either utilize their load balance or internet connection to
make calls and send alert messages; and a software application dedicated to receiving
notifications regarding emergencies or accidents. This software application is exclusively
accessible to the University Response Team, consisting of the CLSU Infirmary and
University Security Force (USF), ensuring timely and appropriate responses to critical
situations. The system introduces new methods and procedures to CLSU that will help
improve emergency response time, promote sustainability, and ensure the safety and well-
being of the students, faculty members, and staff.
