OnEvac - Shelter In Place/Lockdown notification
We use WhosOnLocation and OnEvac at a school.
At present we can't use the OnEvac system to do Shelter In Place/Lockdown notifications to employees or guest on site. But it would be extremely useful if we could.
We don't want to give guests or employees instructions to evacuate buildings when they should be finding a safe spot to conceal themselves away until an all clear is given to come out.

Thanks for your suggestion.
We agree that supporting a wider variety of emergency situations is critical.
We have a project in our roadmap to create 'incident management templates' which will allow you to create and trigger pre-configured emergency notifications with a customizable audience.
I will keep you updated on the status of this project.

Preloaded Emergency Notices with One-Tap Activation in OnEvac
Ref: 06741614
It would be valuable if OnEvac had the option to preload emergency message templates that wardens or marshals could trigger with a single tap from their phone during an evacuation or be set up in advance.Current limitation:
While this is great, messages in OnEvac can only be created during an active evacuation event other than typing the word SAFE.
Preloaded, reusable message templates within OnEvac would:
Allow wardens to instantly broadcast critical information (e.g. “Evacuate now to Assembly Point A” or “Do not use the west stairwell”).
Save time and reduce stress by eliminating the need to type messages on the spot.
Ensure consistent, pre-approved language is used in high-pressure situations.
Impact:
This feature would improve safety, speed up communication, and let wardens focus on moving people to safety rather than managing messages.
