Emergency Vehicle Access Control System

Minimizing Burglary Cases in Florida

Burglary is considered to be a case of felony in Florida. This means that it is a serious crime which can include a punishment that could last for a number of years. Burglary is when a person enters a structure, owned by another person, or a dwelling of any kind with the intent to commit a theft or other crime.

Common Causes of Burglary

Lack of security

One of the reasons why burglary occurs is the lack of security. For houses or buildings with less security, they became the major targets of burglars. If the criminals notice that you have installed several security warningsor alarm systems, they would have to think twice about breaking in to your house. They will be able to commit a crime without detection.

Low visibility to neighbors

If your home is situated in a corner, hidden in a landscape, or somewhere far away from other peoples’ eyes, you are more likely to be a victim of a burglary. Since your house is somewhere far from your neighbors, it would be easier to break in since no one will be suspicious. Trees or bushes might provide criminals an easy get in and a place to hide to burglarize your home.

Homes with poor lighting

Burglars who frequently make their moves at night prefer houses with low lighting. Statistics revealed that there is a lower chance of burglary in houses where there is motion sensor lighting or when the outside lights are turned on.

Advertising your valuables or keeping huge amount of cash in your home

Though it is nice to display some of your valuable items, it is best to keep expensive electronic equipment and jewelry out of sight. As much as possible, keep them in a private room or in a room where it is impossible to be seen outside. Also, do not keep your cash and jewelleries in obvious places such as your bedroom. Further, as much as possible, large amount of cash should be deposited on your bank account, not on your house.

There are many circumstances which can provoke burglary. One way to minimize it is to increase security from the authorities. To help authorities keep you secured, EVAC Dealer offers a simple, low cost option, and more convenient device that could help them respond immediately to burglary calls.

EVAC or Emergency Vehicle Access Control is a radio-controlled device which can make the authorities open a gated entrance without delay. It comes with a remote control which they will use upon arriving at the entrance. It is a faster way to gain access to the gated entryway since all they have to do is push the button on the remote. They do not have to fumble for keys nor sound their sirens or descend from their emergency vehicles to open the gate.

The Pros and Cons of A Gated Community

Many people now preferred living in a gated community. Living in a gated community means having a safe, secured, and private life. The number of residential gated communities has been continuously growing since the 1970s. Bonita Springs, Bradenton, and Lakewood Ranch are one of the cities in Southwest Florida with the highest number of gated communities. However, as much as these gated communities offer some benefits, it is undeniable that they also pose some disadvantages.

The Pros

People living in these  gated communities 

create their own private world with these high walls and secured entrances. Since the community is secured by walls or fences, unwanted visitors can be kept away. Further, only those with access, other homeowners, are allowed in the community thus you will be assured that you will have your privacy.

One major reason why you choose to live in a gated residential community is because of your concerns regarding security. Gated communities offer protection from the dangers outside the community. The entrances of these communities are either controlled by gates, entry codes, key cards, or security guards. No outsiders or strangers are allowed to enter the vicinity and visitors will have to be thoroughly checked.

By naming a property a private one and having a no trespassing policy, criminals will be deterred from entering the said community. Because the access is restricted, many criminals will bypass the community to avoid the risks of being trapped behind fences or walls.

The Cons

It is true that gates reduce crime rate. However, crimes within the residential gated community are not completely eliminated. There is a high possibility that the community will not be monitored by police officers unless the Homeowner’s Association requests it or allows it. Automatic gates can also be easily breached once one resident gives out the code to some delivery services.

Furthermore, there are other concerns regarding the accessibility of the community to emergency personnel. Gated entrances are actually causing some delays for the first responders. For entrances with automated gates, authorities such as fire fighters, health personnel, and police officers, have difficulties doing their job.

Good News!

It is a radio controlled system made for emergency responders to gain easy access to gated communities. It comes with a coded remote and an EVAC receiver. Again, it is only made for emergency personnel and no one else will know the code for the remote except for the authorities.

The Road to a Safe and Secure Community with EVAC

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is a decentralized agency which is responsible for the establishment, maintenance, and regulation of public transportation in the state of Florida. This department was formed in the year 1969.

In 1915, the Department of Transportation, which is called State Road Department at that time, was authorized by the Florida legislature. During the first two years that it was established, the department’s role was to act as an advisory body to the 52 counties in the state to help assemble maps and other road information. However, a year later, the Bankhead Act was passed which expanded the department’s responsibilities. Its role became more crucial in establishing a state and state-aid system of roads, engaging in road construction and maintenance, and accepts federal or local funds to use in improving roads.

One of the most notable projects of the department is the completion of Sunshine Skyway Bridge in 1954. It was the first fixed span to connect Saint Petersburg and Bradenton. This greatly improves the transportation between two cities. Before, cars can only use either a ferry or drive for about 100 miles around Tampa Bay.

In 1974, Florida’s Turnpike was also built. It is a 312-mile limited access toll highway. It connected the panhandle area through Orlando to Miami. It is part of an initiative to finance transportation with user fees. Florida Department of Transportation, with their various projects, aim to improve the transportation in Florida.

Good and high quality roads greatly help vehicles to travel smoothly and fast. These are also important for first responders riding in their emergency vehicles to respond quickly to emergency calls. To add convenient to hardworking emergency personnel, EVAC Dealer offers a favourable way for a faster emergency response.

In responding to an emergency situation, poor road is not the only challenge an emergency personnel can face. Most often, gated entrance of communities are proven to be the main cause of the delay for this emergency situation; thus, EVAC or Emergency Vehicle Access Control is developed.

Emergency Vehicle Access Control (EVAC) is radio-controlled device which can automatically open the gated entrance of a community or business establishment with just a push-the-button remote. The EVAC remote is coded in which only the authorities know it to ensure that the remote will be used only by an authorized person. This would in turn need a receiver to be installed in the entrance of the community or business building. This is available for all emergency personnel in Florida and other parts of US.

EVAC Dealer together with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) makes emergency situations under control. For more information regarding EVAC, please call us at 239-274-1789 or visit our site at https://www.evacdealer.com/.

Secured and Tourist-Friendly Florida with EVAC

The state of Florida was already occupied by Native Americans for at least 12,000 years ago. However, the state got its name when Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon called it “La Florida” when he landed on 1513. It was said that the he was amazed with the beautiful flowers which grew around the region. Florida is more known as the Sunshine State.

The main contributing factor of Florida’s economy relies on its tourism. With over $40 billion dollars coming from visitors each year, tourism is Florida’s main source of income. Even in early days, Florida is quite popular among tourists because of the wonder of nature. People enjoyed the white sand beaches, the Everglades with its alligators, the coral reefs and sport fishing in Florida Keys, and the forests of the national parks.

It was in 1971 when Walt Disney World Resort was developed which made Florida to become the home to one of the largest resorts in the world. This in turn attracts other developers to invest businesses in Florida which made the state even more popular.

Now in present times, there are about forty million tourists who frequently visit Florida yearly. There are many places to visit in Sunshine State like the Walt Disney World & Universal Studios in Orlando, the South Beach and Little Havana in Miami, and never ending refreshing beaches around the whole region.

With tourism being the most important factor in Florida’s economy, it is important to protect it and keep it alive and booming. The second most important concern for a tourist should be the safety and security of a place. A place with many reported crimes is a major turn-off for anyone who wishes to visit the place. For example, the high number of burglary and violent crimes can make visitors be wary and choose not to go.

EVAC Dealer aims to provide Florida and both residents and tourists a secure environment and peaceful place to relax.

Emergency Response in Highly Populated Cities in Florida

Based on the latest United Nations estimates, as of February 26, 2017, the current population of the United States of America is 325,661,845 (http://www.worldometers.info, 2017). At least 4.34% of the total world population comes from United States. Among the 50 states, Florida ranks as the third most populous state after California and Texas with a population of 20,612,439 according to US Census Bureau.

Based on the 2015 estimated US population, here is the list of top 10 most populous cities in Florida.

Top 10 Cities in Florida with Highest Population

1.    Jacksonville – 868,031
2.    Miami – 441,003
3.    Tampa – 369,075
4.    Orlando – 270,934
5.    St. Petersburg – 257,083
6.    Hialeah – 237,069

8. Port St. Lucie – 179,413

9.  Fort Lauderdale – 178,590

10.  Cape Coral – 175,229

Population affects most aspects of the society like crime rate, health status of residents, employment rate, etc. If there are more people in a city, the higher its chances to have more crimes recorded. This is due to anonymity. It is impossible to know each person even if you are in the same neighborhood, thus, it is hard to identify criminals among strangers or outsiders.  

One of the ways to control crime rates is through the help of social control in the presence of police officers. Since a community has a high population, visible and stricter social control is necessary to monitor the whole location. Anonymity makes it possible for criminals to blend with the crowd thus making it easier for them to carry on with their criminal activates without being suspected.

One way to prevent crime is a fast response from emergency personnel. For example, police officers, when responding to a situation, should be fast so as to avoid any casualty. However, communities which required access often pose delay. Accessibility is controlled to exclude unwanted outsiders. It also prevents emergency responders from entering the vicinity without hassles.

In order to address this issue, Emergency Vehicle Access Control or EVAC is made. This is a simple yet efficient device especially made for first responders like police officers, medical personnel, or fire fighters. It is a radio control system which gives the authorities opportunity to open the gates without further ado.

With only a remote, the authorities can access the gated entrance by simply pressing the button on the remote. This Emergency Vehicle Access Control remote is only available for emergency personnel thus, you are confident that your community or establishment is in good hands. Without having to fumble with keys or any other equipment which causes delay, EVAC makes the most convenient way to open the gate.

Convenient Access Control for Health Personnel in Florida

If you are health personnel, moving fast is the most important part of your job. A mere second delay can put your patients’ life at stake. Having a job in which one’s life depends on you is not easy thus, when a person’s life is in danger, you have to act as soon as possible to save the person’s life.

With 8 cities in the USA with the most number of retirees, 3 of them are from Florida. These include Palm Day, Hialeah, and Clearwater. Palm Day has 20.2 percent of population with residents aging 65 years and older, Hialeah with 42,864 or 19.1 percent, and Clearwater with 21,330 or 19.8 percent.   

Among all the age group, older people or people age 65 years and older need the most medical attention. They are more vulnerable to diseases because their health status are starting to decline. With high incidents of strokes, heart attack, and increased blood pressure, it is not surprising that they kept going to and from the hospital or health facilities. Due to these incidents, health personnel should always stay alert to quickly respond to emergency calls.

Cities like Palm Day, Hialeah, and Clearwater in Florida should have the most convenient facility to accommodate the health needs of older people. On some occasion where the patient lives in a gated community, accessibility becomes a problem. Instead of entering directly, emergency vehicle or ambulance with medical personnel inside is momentarily stopped to wait for the gates to be opened.

With Emergency Vehicle Access Control or EVAC, these scenarios do not need to happen when saving lives. To rescue patient as fast as possible, EVAC offers the most convenient and efficient way to open the gated entrance of the community. Upon arriving at the entrance, the health personnel should simply push the button on the EVAC remote to automatically open the gate without wasting any second. The remote is coded which is only available for the authorities to ensure that only them have the access for a specific community.

Easy Access in Gated Communities in Bonita Springs, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch

Florida is one of the home of most gated communities. In the past, it is only restricted to retirement villages and compounds accessible only for the rich people. However, at present times, middle to upper middle class’ townhouses are now protected with gates. This creates protection for people living inside the community. Bonita Springs, Bradenton, and Lakewood Ranch are one of the cities in Southwest Florida with the highest number of gated communities.

Gated communities create their own private world by enclosing their space with high walls and secured gate entrance. However, they are still part of the whole community which needs public assistance as well. They need firefighters, police, and medical personnel just like other people do. Gated communities, however, have its consequences.

For over the years, gated communities have been a growing concern to emergency personnel. For them to efficiently perform their duties, everything must be quickly done. However, gated communities are causing them delays. Emergency vehicle cannot directly get through the gates because they do not have the access to it. The good news is, Emergency Vehicle Access Control or EVAC was developed to help address this kind of issue.

Emergency Vehicle Access Control is a radio controlled system made for emergency responders to gain easy access to gated communities. It works with a remote and a receiver. With just a push of a button option on the remote, the gate will automatically open to let the emergency get through without delays.

They said that the worst tragedy which can happen to a person is to encounter fire incident. If it is flood incident due to storms, you can still recover most of your properties. However, things get more complicated when it is a fire incident. Properties will be burned and lives will be taken. The devastation is an overwhelming feeling. As much as possible, we require a fast service from the fire department in our community in order to save properties that can be saved.

Fire fighters were trained to answer emergency calls as fast as possible. However, uncontrolled variables prevent them from responding quickly. For example, traffic jams cause their delay. In some other cases, the problem is with the community where the fire is taking place. Sometimes these communities delayed their operations because of the entrance requirement. Since communities are mostly gated, gaining access will be a bit of a hassle.

To address this kind of delay, EVAC or Emergency Vehicle Access Control is made for emergency responders to gain easy access to gated communities. EVAC is a radio controlled system which comes with a remote in order to let emergency vehicles like fire truck enter through gates without hassle. The remotes are on private code which are only available to authorities for them to use when responding to emergency calls involved in a gated property especially in cities such as Miami, Hialeah, and Miami Gardens.

The community will have to install the receiver in order for the remote to function and automatically open the gate. It can also be used on private and commercial gates.  Upon approaching the gate, the personnel or fire fighter would simply push the button on the remote. Then the receiver installed on the entrance will detect the signal and automatically, the gate will open letting the fire truck in. No more delays.

Emergency vehicle access control was developed to help communities during emergencies by allowing emergency personnel to  respond without delay.

High concentration of people in an area affects some aspect of the society like the crime rate, health status, employment rate, etc. The more population there is, the more crimes will be recorded, and the unhealthier people may become because of the lifestyle.

If a person live in one of the most populated state in the US like Florida, he or she might be more vulnerable to be a victim of a crime. Social control in these areas must be made stricter. High population is one of the reasons why crime rate in a specific area is high. Because there is anonymity, it is hard to determine whether a person has a malicious intent or not. Social control, which is the police officers, might also be a little loose because of the vast population under their jurisdiction.
