Evacuation & Accountability

Everyone out, and you know who has answered.

Getting people out is the first job. Knowing who is confirmed safe is the second. PushPulse combines the evacuation alert, site check-in, and safe or not safe responses, so you can see who still needs to be found.

An evacuation, from the alarm to the roll call.

Evacuation accountability means knowing, after a building empties, who has been confirmed safe and who has not. Here is how PushPulse helps you answer that.

Choosing who receives an alert by group, assigned location and check-in status

The order reaches everyone on site

Send the evacuation alert to everyone at a location, or to the people checked in there. It reaches phones, PushPulse Hub tablets, desktops, SMS, and voice at once, with the exit and assembly instructions from your template.

Know who was in the building

Staff and volunteers check in to a location from PushPulse Mobile or PushPulse Desktop, and are checked out automatically when they leave the geofence or at a set time. Location admins can clear stale check-ins, so the on-site list is one you can trust.

Safe responses and pending recipients for an active alert

Roll call from the assembly point

The alert asks a question, such as safe or not safe, or one you write yourself, such as whether a class is fully accounted for. People answer from the app, email, or SMS, and the incident view shows who was checked in and who has not answered.

A status update posted to a lockdown alert

Keep staff and families informed

Status updates carry the next instruction to everyone who received the alert, and the all-clear tells them when it is safe to return. If you add parents as users, they can receive the same updates.

Document it

The incident timeline exports as a PDF report, check-in history can be exported, and the Emergency Drill Evaluation form records how a practice evacuation went.

Evacuation questions

What is evacuation accountability?

Evacuation accountability is knowing who has been confirmed safe after a building is evacuated. PushPulse shows who was checked in to the site and who has answered the safe or not safe question.

How does PushPulse know who is on site?

People check in to a location from PushPulse Mobile or PushPulse Desktop. They are checked out automatically when they leave the geofence or at a time set by admins.

Does PushPulse count people by room?

No. PushPulse records who is checked in to a location, not which room they are in.

Can parents be notified during an evacuation?

Yes, if they are added as users. Anyone your organization adds as a user can receive alerts and updates, not only staff.

Can we use PushPulse for fire drills?

Yes. Drill mode sends the same evacuation alert clearly marked as a drill, and the responses and timeline document who took part.
