How to manually start a Safety Check

This guide walks you through how to manually start a Safety Check.

You can do this in three ways: from the Security Overview Map, in response to an alert, or from a Facility.

Start a Safety Check via the Security Overview

To start a Safety Check from the Security Overview, select the polygon tool on the right side of the map and draw around the desired area. A list of users and Facilities within that area will then appear on the right. To start a Safety Check for these individuals, click the Safety Check button at the top of the list.

Start a Safety Check via an Alert from the Partner Dashboard

From the partner dashboard, you can start a Safety Check for individuals affected by a specific alert. Go to the alert in question and scroll down to “In Area”. Select the users you wish to include in the Safety Check or simply click “Select All”. Then click “Create Safety Check”.

Start a Safety Check from a Facility

You can also start a Safety Check from a Facility. Simply go to the desired Facility and click “Create Safety Check”.

After the first initial step, the process is identical across all three options:

Reach Out

In Reach Out you get an overview of the affected people and who will be included in the Safety Check.

When starting a Safety Check from an alert, Safety Check Premium also includes an option to automatically send the Safety Check to new individuals traveling into the affected area after the check was first initiated.

Details

On the details page, you can set a title for your Safety Check. This title is used to identify the Safety Check in the web portal but will n be visible to end users.

Review

In the final step you can review all the details of the Safety Check. When you are ready, click Begin in the bottom-right corner to activate and launch the Safety Check.

Your Safety Check is now live and will be marked as “In Progress”. Outreach will begin and responses start coming in.
