A practical safety layer for campuses
Campus incidents move fast. StartMyAlert helps students and staff report the right information quickly, while giving campus responders a clear, coordinated view of what’s happening.
- Pinpoint incidents by building, floor, and room for faster campus response
- Coordinate multiple responder roles with a live event timeline
- Web-based access for students, staff, and dispatch - no native app required
Designed for campus complexity
College and university campuses are essentially small cities: multiple buildings, mixed-use spaces, and large events where visitors may not know the layout. StartMyAlert helps reduce confusion by guiding the reporter to select the exact building, floor, and room before the alert is sent.That room-level context is especially valuable when responders are spread across a wide area. Instead of back-and-forth phone calls to clarify “where,” responders can move directly to the right location with the map context already attached to the event.
StartMyAlert is browser-based, so it can be used from phones and desktops without app installs. That makes it easier to roll out to students, staff, resident assistants, and event personnel using the devices they already carry.
Because the reporting flow is structured, the information responders receive is more consistent - helping campus teams triage quickly without introducing complicated ticket states or administrative burden.
Built for Clarity Under Stress
StartMyAlert trades a single “panic tap” for a guided workflow that helps users report accurately and quickly. That means fewer false alarms, faster triage, and better outcomes when seconds matter.
- Guided emergency workflow with location mapping
- Discreet by design with role-based visibility
- Real-time event timeline for coordinated response
- Web-based to work on all modern phones & desktops
Responder coordination that stays discreet
On campuses, sensitive details can spread quickly. StartMyAlert keeps internal responder coordination private while allowing the reporting user to see only safe system feedback about their own submission.Authorized responders use a mobile-friendly dashboard with card-based events. Each event opens to a detail view that combines metadata, map highlight, and a real-time timeline for updates and notes - keeping multi-team response organized.
Incident records are preserved for accountability and review. Administrative controls allow appropriate visibility management (including hiding entries when needed) without deleting history, supporting both audit needs and discretion.
Events naturally fade in urgency over time, keeping the responder view focused on what matters right now while still retaining the record for later follow-up.
