Creating an Emergency Profile in iLobby’s EmergencyOS is the first step to tailoring the evacuation experience to meet your organization’s needs. Each profile is comprised of a collection of settings tailored to meet the needs of a specific site. Profiles empower your team to establish precise details for any type of evacuation.

Below are the available configurations when creating a new Emergency Profile:
