BELLEVUE, Wash., Dec. 10, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sector 10, Inc. (OTCBB:SECT) (Frankfurt:4SR) announced today an initiative that will change the entire dimension of safety in our school campuses. Initially, Sector 10 is placing two stationary response units installed with custom designed medical, life-saving equipment, which would normally have to be brought to the location by first response units (e.g. police, fire trucks, ambulances, etc). The amount of time this saves could easily mean the difference between life or death for students and faculty.
According to Pericles DeAvila, CEO of Sector 10 Inc., "This project represents an entirely new paradigm in public safety, and as a parent, the fact that our first placements will be in two college campuses is extremely satisfying. We anticipate that other educational institutions will follow suit."
In addition to containing such life support equipment as gas masks, oxygen, iodine tablets, and other emergency medical supplies, the units also have the ability to transform into evacuation chairs. Equally important as the medical supplies, the units provide a patented means of telecommunication between the first responders and the college staff.
"Unfortunately, the public has learned by experience the critical need for effective, clear communication between rescue personnel, whether the event is a natural disaster, or a military or civilian attack," explained Mr. DeAvila. "When our loved ones are trapped in a life or death situation, how can they be helped without communication?"
In addition to the safety aspect, the Sector 10 unit actually pays for itself through a high definition screen, which projects targeted advertisements to the intended audience. For example, at a college location, a variety of businesses could advertise job opportunities, supplies needed for school, continuing educational institutions, etc.
Sector 10 is redefining the emergency response paradigm from centralized equipment staging to onsite pre-deployed resources. Sector 10 is the only emergency response systems company so strongly emphasizing pre-deployed resources as the way to save lives, avert injuries and reduce liability.
