As school districts grapple with the threat of mass shootings, they are also dealing with a record number of false active shooter reports in U.S.

Mass notification systems aid organizational communication with applications in a number of sectors, from university and school communities to healthcare systems.

Iowa school districts have been the target of several "swatting calls" referencing an alleged active shooter on/near the school's campus.

People convicted of calling authorities with false reports to get SWAT teams called to the scene could get up to 10 years in prison.
