Voice Evacuation & Mass Notification Systems – Fort Lauderdale & South Florida :
At Symmetrik Inc, we believe that life safety depends on communication. In an emergency, seconds matter — and the difference between confusion and safe evacuation often comes down to how clearly people are guided. That’s why we specialize in Voice Evacuation Systems (VES) and Mass Notification Systems (MNS) that ensure clear, reliable, and code-compliant communication inside your building. With over 20 years of fire alarm and life-safety experience, and as an FCC-licensed contractor, Symmetrik Inc is trusted across Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and all of South Florida to design, install, and maintain evacuation systems that protect lives and meet all NFPA 72 and Florida Building Code requirements. What is a Voice Evacuation System? A Voice Evacuation System (VES) is an advanced life-safety technology that uses voice instructions, pre-recorded messages, and live paging to guide people to safety during a fire or emergency. Unlike standard horns or strobes, a VES provides clear instructions that reduce panic and improve evacuation times.
Example:
Instead of just hearing a loud horn, occupants might hear: “Attention: An emergency has been detected on the third floor. Please use the nearest exit and avoid the elevators.” This direct messaging saves lives, especially in high-rise buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and public venues where calm, clear communication is critical. What is a Mass Notification System? A Mass Notification System (MNS) expands beyond fire emergencies. It provides the ability to send building-wide or zone-specific alerts for a variety of threats:Fires & explosions Severe weather events (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods) Security threats (active shooter, intruder, lockdown situations) Hazardous material incidents.
