LockNow Safety App 1.6.3

LockNow presents a streamlined solution for immediate lockdown and emergency alerts, tailored for educational institutions, businesses, and places of worship. Its primary objective is to facilitate swift activation of alerts by designated personnel, thereby mitigating delays when threats arise.

The platform enhances situational awareness by integrating threat location information within alerts—though it is important to note that geolocation services are not utilized. This capability empowers users to make informed decisions during critical circumstances.

LockNow offers a customizable safety app that adapts to the specific requirements of your organization, ensuring user-friendliness across varying environments, whether a single campus or multiple locations. Alerts are triggered within seconds and take the form of an amber alert-style notification, complemented by live messaging to maintain ongoing communication throughout emergencies.

Engaging security personnel, school resource officers (SROs), and local authorities through the app facilitates quicker response times. The system allows organizations to dictate who can initiate each alert as well as who receives notifications and participates in live communications.

The application supports multiple types of alerts beyond lockdowns, including those for tornadoes, fires, evacuations, and medical emergencies, with the functionality to practice safety drills integrated into the platform. This comprehensive approach addresses communication challenges during crises, allowing your organization to focus on response efforts.

Critical Features:

• Red Alert Lockdown: Designed to eliminate delays during active threats, this feature enables swift activation and shares the threat's location with selected employees. Security personnel can also be included for more rapid responses, supplemented by live messaging throughout the situation.
• Yellow Alert Lockdown: This feature prepares staff for potential risks by issuing a cautious alert. Employees are promptly informed of the situation's nature and can receive updates through live messaging from administrators.
• General Alert: The system supports a range of emergencies including tornadoes, fires, and medical crises. Organizations can customize which alerts are activated and integrate drills to enhance preparedness.
