A panic button is a safety device designed to alert authorities or emergency services in case of a crisis. When pressed, it sends a signal to a monitoring system, which can quickly dispatch help. Panic buttons are commonly used in various settings, including schools, workplaces, and homes, to enhance security and provide peace of mind. These devices can come in different forms, such as handheld buttons, wall-mounted units, or mobile applications. They are often linked to security systems or emergency response teams, ensuring a rapid response during emergencies like medical incidents, intrusions, or violent situations.
