How It Works

From blank facility
to ready in hours.

LockDown Plan gives your facility a structured starting point: room-specific protocols, clear roles, and a process for running drills that actually mean something.

Build Room-Specific Protocols

Every room in your facility gets its own tailored lockdown protocol — configured for that specific space, its layout, and the people in it.

  • Document doors, windows, gates, and locking mechanisms
  • Define the safest shelter zones within each room
  • Record emergency equipment and communication tools
  • Add location-specific actions unique to that space
