Panic Buttons for Events

Give staff a direct way to raise the alarm.

Panic buttons for university staff and students. AtlasNXT by Track24 provides Panic Alerts through the app and compatible satellite devices for university personnel who need to bring a concern to the monitoring team's attention. Connect the person raising the alarm with the operator responsible for making contact and coordinating the response.

Example scenario

A campus technician working alone after normal hours in London raises a Panic Alert and reports: "I fell on the service stairs and hurt my ankle. I cannot reach the workshop without help." The operator replies: "We are calling you. Campus security is arranging a first aider and the duty supervisor." The duty supervisor confirms that the technician has received assistance. 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 the alert with local support
University staff and students may be on overseas placements, remote fieldwork, or working alone on campus. Panic Alerts from the app and compatible satellite devices bring requests for help into the same response workspace. The university duty officer can attempt contact after an alert and coordinate local support with the fieldwork lead.
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 do Panic Alerts connect to our response procedures?

Link Standard Operating Procedures categories to Panic Alerts so operators can work through the relevant steps alongside the conversation and available location information. Incident Management supports assigned tasks and a shared record when the response involves several colleagues.

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

Walk through a Panic Alert from the app or a compatible satellite device with the people who monitor university personnel, then review contact, local support, and handover in AtlasNXT.
