Respond Text Notification Guide For Android 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 Google Play 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. 

With Android devices, the very thing Android-users enjoy – the flexibility and openness –makes providing one set of instructions a bit challenging. Understand your device and software version may vary, so use these instructions as a guide. You may also benefit from Googling “customize do not disturb settings” along with your device and software version for more specific information.

Setting up Building Notifications

You can be manually added to buildings/sites within your district to receive notifications (mobile, SMS & email) for any alarms activated in that building.

    1. To Remove an existing building, click the red delete icon to the right of the building you want to remove. You will be asked to confirm you want to delete this building association, which will also prevent any alerts for alarms activated at this building. 
    2. To add a building, click “Add Building,” which is located above the “Save” buttton. You will then be asked to select one or more buildings from the drop down that you want to receive notifications for. Click “Confirm”. You will now see the added building(s) in the list of building alerts and will begin receiving any notifications for alarms activated for these buildings. 
  5. Be sure to click Save on the Rapid Alarm Settings page to save any changes made in the steps above
