Respond Text Notification Guide For iOS Devices

Wireless devices remain a constant companion for most adults. As a result, phone, tablet, and software manufacturers continue to enhance and invent new ways for apps and devices to notify or hide notifications from users. 

Respond is a module within Navigate360's Emergency Management Suite (EMS). In the App Store, you can find the NaviGate Prepared mobile application (our classic app for EMS) and the Emergency Management Suite mobile application (our enhanced app for EMS). The alerts or notifications on either app are designed to serve as an additional method of notifying building staff during a drill or emergency. Always use the primary method outlined in your Emergency Operations Plan (i.e. fire pull, PA system, etc.) as well.

Note:

Systems such as Amber Alerts can override your phone’s settings because they are an agreement between the wireless industry and the US government. Vendors do not have access to this platform. We are actively watching opportunities on Android and iPhone to streamline this process for all our users.

Of course, we realize the value of having mobile devices alert us to emergencies and offer this guide to help staff enable their devices accordingly. The following instructions are designed to help you customize your do not disturb settings so you can limit the notifications you receive during the day, while allowing sound for Respond alarms. You may find this very useful as you can schedule do not disturb to turn on/off automatically based on the day of the week and time of day.
