1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of display devices positioned inside a building; and
a computing device configured to:
receive an alert for an event, wherein the event corresponds to a disruptive event;
determine an absolute position of an electronic device within the building based on communication between the electronic device and one or more navigation devices of the building;
query information related to the event;
generate a map comprising a marker displayed at the absolute position of the electronic device and one or more additional markers displayed at one or more respective positions of the one or more navigation devices of the building based on the information;
generate a list of instructions for securing a user of the electronic device based on the information;
transmit a first signal in response to determining that the absolute position is within a first threshold distance of a first display device of the plurality of display devices, wherein the first signal is configured to cause the first display device to:
display the map, wherein each of the plurality of display devices is positioned in different locations with respect to the building; and
display a portion of the list of instructions; and
transmit a second signal in response to determining that the absolute position is within a second threshold distance of a second display device of the plurality of display devices, wherein the second signal is configured to cause the second display device to:
display the map in response to determining that the absolute position is within the second threshold distance of the second display device; and
