Once a user is added to Emergency Management as an Admin, View Only, or Limited Access, their role primarily defines customization and access permissions within the platform. However, if your district plans to use the mobile app for activating and managing emergencies, it’s essential to also configure Rapid Alarm Settings.

Rapid Alarm Admins represent a unique user permission set separate from regular Admin roles. This designation is specifically required for users who need to:

• Access the Admin Chat feature to communicate during emergencies.
• Start Reunification processes to coordinate the safe return of students to their guardians.
• End Alarms to indicate the resolution of an emergency or drill.
   

By default, all users are Teacher/Staff. Update Rapid Alarm Settings on an individual user basis in User Management. 

Why This Matters:
While Admin roles cover platform management and customization, Rapid Alarm permissions ensure that specific users are empowered to handle emergency response actions efficiently and effectively. Proper configuration of Rapid Alarm Admins ensures seamless communication and coordination during critical incidents, making this step vital for districts leveraging the mobile app.
