Emergency alerts app benefits

Regroup’s AlertMe mobile app offers a range of features and benefits:

Increased Delivery and Dependability — AlertMe enables clients to send mobile push notifications that put important updates directly in front of recipients, even when cell-towers are down or inoperative. Since push notifications rely on data connections and not cell networks, they’re also delivered faster than traditional SMS messages an with much higher levels of reliability. This crucial piece of our service has the real power to save lives when seconds count.

GeoFence Messages — When location matters, Regroup’s system allows notifications to be sent to people in specific areas when they have the AlertMe emergency alerts app installed. This feature can keep people from entering a danger zone or inform staff before they leave an area by sending a GeoFence message to devices through AlertMe.

TipSafe Anonymous Reporting — AlertMe empowers anyone to safely report suspicious behavior, potential threats, and other safety concerns from their smartphone. Administrators will receive real-time information and can respond quickly to keep people safe and address security concerns.

Two-Way Critical Communications — In the event of an emergency, witnesses and first responders can send important information and updates from the scene to improve response time to the emergency.

Automatic Translation — Everyone can receive critical communications alerts in their native language, for improved comprehension of life-saving information. When an administrator sends a notification, Regroup can automatically translate it into a dozen of the world’s most-spoken languages.

Easy User Controls and Settings — AlertMe makes it easy for employees, students, customers, and other recipients to manage their notification settings and keep their information up to date. The app’s easy-to-use interface also makes responding to notifications simple, allowing you stay informed and in touch with everyone in any situation.
