Use geofencing to provide targeted messages to your community based on geography. For example, if a particular part of campus or area within a city is impacted by a protest or large gathering, send a geofenced broadcast message to speak directly to users who are in that area. Note: users must have their location services enabled to receive a geofenced broadcast message.
Evaluate any existing protest or large gathering protocols and procedures to determine if they can be updated to improve protections for your community. If your organization does not have a plan for how to manage or respond to protests or large gatherings, create a communications and response plan to keep your community safe.
Remind users of the various ways they can use Vector LiveSafe during a protest or large event to stay safe, like Report Incidents, Report Suspicious Behavior, and two-way chat with Campus Security.
