A UgoRound Geo Alert is sent to a defined Geofence. Only people inside or approaching the fence will receive the alert. A geofence is a virtual radius on a map that can be defined from 50 metres to several kilometres
A UgoRound First to Know Alert is sent to a First to Know Group. This is a Group that should be the First to Know if something happens.
Citizens join their local First to Know Group (anonymously) and can receive alerts and updates via the free UgoRound Mobile app.
Examples of First to Know Groups:
City Quarters
Towns and Villages
City Buildings
Places of Worship
Schools and Universities
Hospitals
Local County or Council areas
Housing Authorities
Community Policing
And more
Warnings - A Warning Alert will allow you to provide advice and warnings to citizens relevant to their location. In cases of an impending or expected event, the authoritative body can advise citizens and include recommend actions
Incidents - An Incident Alert can provide short and factual notifications of an incident that has occurred. Citizens that may be impacted can receive the alert whilst those too far away are spared the potential of panic.
Notifications – A Notification Alert can inform citizens of day-to-day events that are relevant to their present location. A notification can include details that could provide context of the event and suggested action, if needed.
