Why BEELS is Changing Beach Safety Forever
The Problem We Solve:
Traditional beach evacuations leave the most vulnerable behind. Deaf and hard-of-hearing beachgoers, people wearing headphones, and those in high-noise environments have no way of knowing about emergencies until it’s too late.
The statistics are sobering:
- 15-25 minutes – Traditional beach evacuation time
- 430 million people worldwide have hearing loss
- Zero systems existed for deaf beach emergency communication before BEELS
- Critical seconds lost can mean the difference between life and death
The BEELS Solution:
BEELS delivers simultaneous visual and audio emergency alerts that reach everyone, everywhere on the beach – from surfers ¼ mile offshore to families on the sand.
Instant Impact:
- Immediate activation triggers both LED lights and audio systems
- Universal recognition – lights programmed for specific emergency types
- Underwater audio reaches swimmers and divers
- Multi-language announcements serve diverse beach communities
- Smart integration with lifeguard communication systems
Updated BEELS Applications
While BEELS was originally designed to address emergency evacuations on beaches, the system can be custom designed and fitted to meet the emergency alert notification standards in many other public spaces making evacuation notifications more efficient.
Additional venues for BEELS include but are not limited to:
- Stadiums
- Retail spaces
- College campuses
- Convention Centers
- Transportation hubs
BEELS Technology
Simple Activation, Life-Saving Results
