Now you are ready
Once you have the app set-up it is easy to use and the push through of alerts is very prompt. The geo tracking is linked to alerts e.g. if you are in area where an earthquake has occurred Global 24 and you are alerted. On the alert you are prompted to you indicate that you are OK. If we don’t get a response, then Global 24 will do an active outreach from the platform or call/text you to confirm that you are OK.
