Give staff a direct way to raise the alarm.
Panic buttons for journalists and media crews. AtlasNXT by Track24 provides Panic Alerts through the app and compatible satellite devices for media 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 camera operator reaching an outdoor reporting location in Nairobi, Kenya, raises a Panic Alert and reports: "I fell on the rough access path and hurt my ankle. I cannot get back to the vehicle." The operator replies: "We are calling you. The producer is arranging first aid and transport to your position." The producer confirms that assistance has reached the camera operator. The alert, contact, and confirmed outcome remain in the response record.
Panic Buttons for Media Teams
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 media personnel, then review contact, local support, and handover in AtlasNXT.
