Area of Refuge: Your Lifeline in Emergencies

What is Area of Refuge?

An area of refuge (AOR) system is a building code-driven standard requiring stairwells, elevator landings, and exterior stairwells in multilevel buildings to be equipped for assisted rescue during an emergency. In a fire or emergency evacuation, building occupants who cannot travel down the stairs or the elevator need a location to wait for assistance with two-way communication to first responders.

Code Blue is the leading manufacturer of cloud-based code-compliant Area of Refuge systems and IP or analog SIP two-way communication systems. We are also the security industry leader in emergency network solutions, making our AOR solutions specialized and second to none in functionality.
