Public Address/Voice Alarm (PAVA)
A Clear Voice in an Emergency
A traditional fire alarm system uses a bell or sounder to provide evacuation notifications which can lead to confusion, panic and a delay in getting crew and passengers to safety. PAVA systems are an effective means of communicating information around a vessel, whether it be a commercial cargo ship or a cruise liner. Combining Fire Detection and Voice Alarm systems significantly improves response times and provides the ability to advise everyone onboard about the safest emergency route. During an incident, a pre-recorded message will be broadcast around the whole vessel providing clear instructions on what action needs to be taken.
