SOS for Events

Help staff raise an urgent alert and request support.

SOS alerts for university staff and students. AtlasNXT by Track24 gives university personnel a way to raise an urgent concern through a Panic Alert from the app or a compatible satellite device. Help the monitoring team establish contact, review available information, and coordinate the next action through your response procedure.

Example scenario

A university researcher returning from an external fieldwork visit in London raises a Panic Alert and reports: "Someone threatened me outside the research venue. I am inside reception with a colleague and feel safe." The operator replies: "We are calling you. University security and the fieldwork lead are arranging support." The fieldwork lead confirms that the researcher has been met and the return arrangements are agreed. The operator records the confirmed outcome and closes the response.

SOS for Higher Education

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.
Connect the alert with local support
University staff and students may be on overseas placements, remote fieldwork, or working alone on campus. The university duty officer can review a Panic Alert, attempt contact, and brief the fieldwork lead 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 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.
