Rave Guardian App is part of the University’s emergency mass notification services. This app, free to the campus community, can enhance user’s personal safety both on and off campus by turning any smartphone into a personal safety device. In addition, they will also receive Emergency Alerts on the app. With Guardian, users can create a profile of information about themselves in order to assist emergency responders in locating and assisting them. When needed, a user can request one or more of their contacts to “virtually” walk with them on or off campus. It’s like having an emergency blue light system and a trusted friend with you at all times. The app allows the Public Safety Communications Center to communicate directly through text and voice. If the panic call button is activated and location services are turned on for the app, it will provide the Public Safety Communications Center with streaming location information on screen. A user can add any additional information and a picture of themselves if desired.

You can learn more at that Public Safety Communications Center Website.
