FAIR LAWN, N.J., --[Emergency Notification News] -- March 28, 2007 - Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc., (Amex: HBE) a turnkey provider of technology-based integrated electronic security solutions, today announced an agreement between Diversified Security Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of Henry Bros. Electronics, and Workspeed Notifications, LLC, a leading provider of Web-based and wireless applications that optimize real estate enterprise performance.
Diversified Security Solutions has been engaged in the business of creating Emergency Action Plans for high-rise buildings since 2002. In 2006, New York City passed Local Law 26, which requires all commercial high-rise buildings to have an Emergency Action Plan. The law also requires all tenants to "establish and maintain a system of assigning responsibility for accounting for employees present in the building so that accounting can be made in the event of an in-building relocation, partial evacuation or full evacuation."
Working with Diversified Security Solutions, Workspeed Notifications developed an electronic solution (known as Workspeed Notify) that sends information to thousands of employees instantly while those employees can respond electronically for the purpose of accountability tailored for building evacuation and disaster recovery. Diversified Security will market Workspeed Notifications product exclusively to its New York customers and sell the product nationwide as part of its emergency preparedness solution.
Mark Novak, Director of Emergency Planning, of Diversified Security Solutions, said, "As one of the leaders in creating emergency action plans in New York City, coupled with the passage of Local Law 26 and the agreement with Workspeed, we are now positioned to capitalize on this growing and important market. Human Resource departments need to implement new strategies for employee communications during times of crisis, and our solution will help resolve accountability issues and meet the requirements of the law."
Derrick Chen, CEO of Workspeed, said, "Workspeed is proud that Diversified Security, New York's leading provider of emergency action plan development to the commercial real estate industry, has agreed to distribute Workspeed Notify. Diversified's vision of using the Workspeed Notify tool to enable not only compliance with Local Law 26, but also the development of truly workable emergency plans, will make a major difference when a crisis occurs."
