Alyssa’s Law: Protecting Schools When Seconds Count

Alyssa’s Law was created to address critical communication gaps and delayed response times during life-threatening emergencies on school property. Named in honor of 14-year-old Alyssa Alhadeff, who lost her life in the 2018 Parkland tragedy, the law establishes clear requirements for advanced panic alert systems that instantly connect schools with first responders — helping save lives through faster, coordinated action.
