Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Warnable intended for?
Warnable is primarily intended for organizations such as schools, hospitals, and other institutions that require efficient and effective communication during emergencies and for daily operations. It caters to different users within these organizations, including administrators, teachers, staff, and first responders. The system allows for various levels of access and permissions, such as administrators having more control over sending and approving alerts compared to non-admin users.
How does the Warnable app work?The Warnable app works by allowing users with the appropriate permissions to send alerts based on pre-defined templates or by creating custom messages. When an alert is sent, it is distributed to the designated audience, who receive notifications on their mobile devices. Users can then access detailed information, response protocols, and engage in real-time chat related to the alert.
The app also includes features for checking in individuals, enabling administrators to track the status and safety of everyone involved. The system is designed to streamline communication and coordination during critical incidents and to enhance overall situational awareness.
Yes, Warnable is highly customizable. Organizations can tailor the app to their specific needs by creating custom alert templates, specifying response protocols for different scenarios, and defining target audiences for notifications. The customization options also extend to permissions and access levels, allowing administrators to control who can send alerts and who can view certain information. The app is designed to be adaptable to various types of institutions, from K-12 schools to hospitals and other commercial or residential settings
Is it app only?
No. Only key administrators need to download the app. We can deliver events via app, text, or email where they may be opened via phone, tablet, or desktop.
This makes implementation much easier for administrators, as they only need to provide contact information of users in order to reach them.
No. While Warnable was designed to help organizations with safety drills, it is a useful tool for communications where you need to get in contact with certain people quickly, and provide them with certain tools to respond.
How is this different from walkie talkie radios?
Radios are great, but in many organizations it does not make sense for everyone to have one. Meanwhile, everyone has a phone. Warnable is great for discreet communication as radios require earpieces to avoid broadcasting information to surrounding people.
Plus, radios require training and people need to know to remember to switch onto the right frequency / carry it on them.
