Emergency Chat
The RapidReach Emergency Alert App includes a WhatsApp-like chat functionality that allows your teams to communicate during both emergency and operational situations.
All correspondence is stored centrally. Groups are also controlled centrally.
- Centrally managed Teams

Checklist
The checklist is an integrated part of the RapidReach Emergency Alert App. When a recipient receives an alert message, it also includes a checklist containing all the actions that need to be carried out.
The checklist helps ensure that nothing is overlooked during a stressful situation and supports a structured response to the incident. It also documents that all required actions have been completed, providing both traceability and quality assurance.
- The checklist is delivered together with the alert
- Contains a clear list of actions to be completed
- Allows completed actions to be checked off
- Generates a completed report once all actions are finished
GPS positioning
There is an option in the RapidReach Emergency Alert App to send alerts to a recipient based on their current location. This could be during a localised incident.
The recipient must enable the use of their location on their smartphone / tablet to enable this location based alerting. Positioning is achieved via GPS, if available, or determined using signals from mobile network base stations.
- GPS positioning
- Geocoding of coordinates
- Choose between high accuracy or low battery consumption
Initiate Emergency Alert
Through the RapidReach Emergency Alert App, users can receive alerts and initiate emergency alerts or scenarios.
This means authorised staff can raise an alert from anywhere, without needing to be in the office or control room.
- Configure what scenarios can be started from the App
- Define who can start scenarios
- Review the scenario before starting it
- Initiated Alerts are stored in a history list for later review
