Alerts deaf to alarm

DMS (Deaf Message Service) is a
new fire safety product that informs
deaf or hard of hearing people when
the fire alarm sounds in a public
place like a supermarket, shopping
centre or library. It also helps service
providers and employers comply
with the Disability Discrimination
Act (DDA).

When a deaf or hard of hearing
person enters a building where DMS
is installed, they will see clear signage
asking them to text a location code
to the DMS number.

In the event the fire alarm
sounding, the DMS controller unit,
will trigger a process that within
seconds sends a text message to all
people connected to that location.
