Example scenario

Example scenario

A consular colleague finishing a public-facing appointment in Dubai raises a Panic Alert and reports: "A visitor threatened me outside the appointment area. I am with security in the staff office." The operator replies: "We are calling you. The consulate duty officer and security contact have been notified." The duty officer confirms the colleague's welfare and the agreed local support. The operator records the confirmed outcome and closes the response.

SOS for Consulates

Put the alert in context
Panic Alerts from the app and compatible satellite devices bring a request for help into the operator's workflow. The conversation and available location information help the operator reach the person and coordinate support from one place.
Coordinate contact and assistance
A consular officer asking for help during outreach may need local assistance while the duty officer coordinates from the post. The consulate duty officer can review a Panic Alert, attempt contact, and brief the security officer on the confirmed circumstances. The shared record keeps local assistance and outstanding actions visible as the response develops.
Carry the response through to handover
Standard Operating Procedures put the relevant contact and escalation steps beside the response. Use Incident Management to assign follow-up, record decisions, and give colleagues a shared view of progress through the handover.

How can the consulate coordinate assistance with an outreach officer's local contact?

Use the alert conversation and available position to establish contact. An incident can retain local-coordinator liaison, assistance tasks, and the next agreed update for the incoming duty officer.

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.
