When an emergency alert is activated who and how will they receive the alerts.

These alerts are in addition to the alert that appears on the map screen. See How do I deal with Emergency Alerts?

Important to have an action plan for your organisation around what happens when alerts are received;

• Who will receive the alerts

• How will they receive the alerts

• What will they do when they receive the alert

• What will they do when they make contact (i.e. clearing the alert)

• What will they do if they cannot make contact with the alerter

Alerts can be received from:

• Personal locator buttons

• Lone worker alarms

• Emergency duress buttons

• After a High Impact or Rollover event IF the High Impact and Rollover alert feature (HIR) is enabled for your resources  - more info here

• Geofence entry or exit or both

• Low Battery 

Step One: Alert Type must be enabled by Smartrak
