Give staff a direct way to raise the alarm.
Panic buttons for NGO field staff. AtlasNXT by Track24 provides Panic Alerts through the app and compatible satellite devices for NGO field staff 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 programme assistant travelling on foot to a field visit near Lodwar, Kenya, raises a Panic Alert and reports: "I fell on the rough path and hurt my ankle. I cannot walk back to the programme vehicle." The operator replies: "We are calling you. The field coordinator is arranging first aid and transport to your position." The field coordinator confirms that assistance has reached the programme assistant. The alert, contact, and confirmed outcome remain in the response record.
Panic Buttons for NGO Field Teams
How can a field colleague raise an alert between programme locations?
An app Panic Alert, or one from compatible satellite equipment, brings the request into the shared workspace. The operator can attempt contact and involve the field coordinator through the agreed procedure.
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 NGO field staff, then review contact, local support, and handover in AtlasNXT.
