Help staff raise an urgent alert and request support.
SOS alerts for journalists and media crews. AtlasNXT by Track24 gives media 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 reporter covering an external assignment in Nairobi, Kenya, raises a Panic Alert and reports: "Someone threatened me while I was filming. I am back in the locked vehicle with the driver." The operator replies: "We are calling you. The producer and local security contact are arranging support." The producer confirms the reporter's welfare and the next staff movement arrangements. The operator records the confirmed outcome and closes the response.
SOS 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.
