Emergency Trigger Button



The Emergency Trigger button is a unique feature in REACH and a very important risk management tool for your school.  It will provide invaluable assistance in the event of any emergency situation or evacuation procedure on your campus.

When activated, the REACH emergency trigger will immediately alert all staff in the system to an emergency incident by sending an email containing a list of all students and their known location at the time of the emergency alert (whether on campus or off campus).  Staff can then use this list as a support document to assist with normal emergency procedures.

As using the Emergency Trigger button will generate such a significant response from all staff, REACH has a 2-step confirmation for activation when this button is pressed.  This is to ensure that the Emergency Trigger button is not activated by mistake.


At present, the Emergency Trigger button has only one configuration (ie: emergency evacuation).  However, there is capacity for this function to accommodate other events which could be selected in the step 2 stage of activation (through Rollcall or Live Rollcall category selections)
