Example scenario

A geologist checking a remote survey location near Calama, Chile, raises a Panic Alert and reports: "I feel dizzy and very unwell at the survey point. A colleague is with me. I need help." The operator replies: "We are calling you. The camp manager is arranging medical support." The camp manager confirms that medical assistance has reached the geologist. The alert, contact, and confirmed outcome remain in the response record.

Raise an alert from the app or a satellite device
Staff can raise a Panic Alert from the app or a compatible satellite device. Operators receive the alert in the same platform they use for location awareness and communication, bringing the request for help and the response together.
Connect a Panic Alert with local support
Field survey personnel may need to raise an alert while separated from the camp supervisor or the rest of their team. Panic Alerts from the app and compatible satellite devices bring requests for help into the same response workspace. The field operations coordinator can attempt contact after an alert and coordinate local support with the survey supervisor.
Give the operator the next response steps
Bring the alert, available location, and conversation together for the operator. Standard Operating Procedures guide the response steps, while Incident Management keeps assigned tasks and updates visible to the wider team.

How can a field survey colleague raise a Panic Alert away from camp?

Panic Alerts can be initiated through the app or compatible satellite equipment. The operator can then review the available position and use the relevant procedure for contact and local support.

Can staff raise Panic Alerts from satellite devices?

Yes. Staff can raise Panic Alerts from compatible satellite devices as well as the app. AtlasNXT is compatible with over 3,000 satellite devices. Request the compatible devices list to check your equipment and its supported alert functions.

Put your panic-button response into practice
