<br/><br/> Dangers and disasters are inherent in life, particularly when surroundings are unfamiliar,<br/>and reliance is solely on hearing. This study aims to develop an emergency broadcasting<br/>system for the Philippine National School for the Blind, ensuring that visually impaired<br/>students can evacuate safely and swiftly during emergency situations. The system is<br/>equipped with speakers that provide instructions and live emergency broadcasts. The<br/>prototype was developed using 10-watt, 8-ohm, and 0.5-watt, 8-ohm speakers with a<br/>recording module and amplifiers to enhance sound quality and loudness. The system<br/>includes drill, emergency, and safe zone pre-recorded options which can manually activate<br/>when students reach the safe zone. The prototype was tested by comparing evacuation<br/>times during a previous drill after installation of the prototype. Results showed a significant<br/>reduction in evacuation time from 5 minutes to 2 minutes and 30 seconds, confirming<br/>effectiveness and reliability of the system. Furthermore, 50 respondents, comprising<br/>students, officials, and teachers, evaluated the prototype and rated it as “Highly<br/>Acceptable”.
