Rave Panic Button reduces the time before help reaches you in an emergency. For critical emergencies, activate one of the five Rave Panic Buttons to start dialing 9-1-1. When activated at a location configured for your organization, Rave Panic Button also notifies on-site individuals, getting you immediate assistance. For lower-severity issues not requiring a 9-1-1 call, you can use the Staff Assist feature to notify on-site individuals only. Using Staff Assist will not dial 9-1-1. When a Rave Panic Button 9-1-1 call is routed to a participating 9-1-1 center, the 9-1-1 call taker automatically receives real-time, critical incident information such as the emergency type, building floor plans, emergency response plans, and other critical details via Rave's patented Smart911 technology. Rave Panic Button is a product of Rave Mobile Safety, whose industry-leading public safety applications protect millions of people nationwide. Rave Panic Button is free, but works best when your school, business, or other organization subscribes to the service. Notes: • Some Rave Panic Button features require a data connection and access to your phone's location services. • Rave Panic Button works best when you enable Notifications and keep your phone connected to a Wi-Fi network. • You must be authorized by a participating organization to fully access Rave Panic Button’s features. The app automatically checks your authorization status during setup. • Always contact 9-1-1 in an emergency. Rave Panic Button makes it easy by dialing 9-1-1 for you, but you must click the "Call" button after activating Rave Panic Button in order to place the call.
