ActiveAlert

ActiveAlert is a powerful communication tool designed for first responders who need instant access to critical dispatch information. This emergency response app transforms messy SMS alerts into clear, organized data, allowing users to focus on fast decision-making during incidents. By leveraging Google Cloud Messaging, ActiveAlert ensures notifications arrive quickly and reliably, eliminating the delays associated with traditional text-based systems.

Key Features for Incident Management

With ActiveAlert, every call is automatically parsed into readable sections, making it easy to review address, nature, and unit assignments. The app generates a map for each alarm location, reducing the time spent searching for coordinates. Responders can also view the real-time positions of other team members on a live map, improving coordination on scene. Past and present calls are stored in a systematic log, providing a complete history for debriefing or future reference.

ActiveComms Integration

ActiveComms, included within the ActiveAlert app, lets users listen to ongoing radio chatter across two channels and respond when needed. This eliminates the need for bulky separate radios, as the app works with over 200 donor radios and base stations via ActiveBridge technology. The low‑latency connection ensures clear audio, while tone detection and channel customization give users control over which transmissions they monitor.

For field operations, ActiveAlert provides access to important documents like pre‑incident plans and photographs directly from the device. This feature reduces the need for paper checklists and speeds up situational awareness. The app is built for reliability, with discrete audio options that keep users informed without drawing attention. Whether responding to a fire, medical call, or other emergency, ActiveAlert streamlines the entire workflow from notification to response.
