Panic button emergency alert notification launched

Employee communications software company SnapComms (www.snapcomms.com) has launched a new feature designed for emergency situations in the workplace.

SnapComms Panic Button enables first-at-the-scene employees to send a pre-configured emergency alert straight to the mobile phones and desktops of colleagues, as well as large display screens in communal areas.

The Panic Button emergency alert overrides all other applications in use at the time. It displays fully across a screen’s real estate, greatly increasing the chance of employees immediately seeing the alert at a time when every second counts. For additional impact, the emergency alert can include an audio notification.snap-pic

Customer demand led to SnapComms developing Panic Button, explains Sarah Perry, CEO, SnapComms. She says: “Organisations are increasingly conscious of their responsibilities to staff in emergency situations. They need to minimise the risk, should the worst happen.

“In response, we’ve created a high-impact notification tool that’s exceptionally quick and easy to trigger. It saves valuable minutes during a time of extreme stress.” 

An important feature of SnapComms Panic Button is real-time reporting. This provides critical metrics such as delivery and receipt of emergency alerts, highlighting which staff have (and have not) seen the message.

Panic Button also eliminates a time-wasting step that most other emergency notification systems still insist upon: the official internal publishing process.

In other words, first-at-the-scene staff are empowered to broadcast a pre-configured alert without delay – and without having to waste time trying to track down the person who normally publishes internal communications content.

Use-case scenarios include: a severe weather warning; a wide-scale medical emergency; a suspected terrorist threat; an active shooter on site; a natural disaster; a fire; or any other time of duress. The emergency alerts can be sent to targeted staff within 60 seconds (this is the standard setting, subject to network connectivity and third party network providers).
