01 / How it works
Set the coverage. Keep people informed.
Your team should not have to watch every local feed. Automated alerts connect relevant incidents with the people nearby, while your organization defines the areas it covers.
- 01
Define the covered areas
Work with our team to establish the sites and areas for your program. Confirm the people, devices and notification setup involved.
- 02
Match nearby incidents
The alert workflow identifies verified incidents relevant to the covered person’s area. The information comes to the phone through notifications.
- 03
Give people useful context
An alert explains the incident and where it is happening so the recipient can make a more informed decision about their surroundings.
02 / In view
A signal on the screen they already check.
Clear notifications can make safety information easier to notice. Set up permissions with your team and explain how nearby incident alerts fit alongside urgent messages and your organization’s instructions.

Does someone on our team send every alert?
The nearby incident alert workflow is automated. Your organization enables coverage, while the service identifies relevant verified incidents for people nearby. Review the available incident coverage and configuration with our team.
Does the employer see where a recipient is?
Nearby alerts are intended to send relevant information to the person, not create a report of their movements for the employer. Employers cannot view individual location between trips or start a trip on someone’s behalf.
Are nearby alerts the same as a lockdown broadcast?
No. Nearby incident alerts, organization-directed emergency messages and critical alerts serve different purposes. We will walk through the available workflows, who initiates each one and how recipients see them.
Will every notification bypass silent mode?
Do not assume every alert behaves like a critical alert. Delivery depends on the notification type, supported device, connectivity and permissions. Test the setup with your team and keep your existing emergency communication procedures.
