Give staff a direct way to raise the alarm.
Panic buttons for humanitarian aid workers. AtlasNXT by Track24 provides Panic Alerts through the app and compatible satellite devices for humanitarian aid workers 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 humanitarian worker checking a temporary field location near Gorkha, Nepal, raises a Panic Alert and reports: "Someone threatened me at the field location. I am with our local contact in a secure office." The operator replies: "We are calling you. The field coordinator and duty security contact are arranging support." The field coordinator confirms the worker's welfare and the agreed local assistance. The alert, contact, and confirmed outcome remain in the response record.
