The Rescue Card was designed for buildings, but emergencies don’t only happen in buildings.
Mobile Mode is a feature in the Rescue app that extends card functionality off campus. When enabled, a Rescue Card communicates through a nearby smartphone instead of the building’s repeater network, allowing staff to report emergencies and share their real-time location from anywhere.
Mobile Mode is particularly useful for:
- Field trips, where staff are away from campus with students
- Mobile health workers moving between locations
- Any role that regularly takes staff outside the building
How it works
When Mobile Mode is active, pressing the card triggers an alert through the user’s nearby smartphone. Location is shared via the phone, so responders know where the person is even without building infrastructure nearby.
When staff are off the clock and don’t want to risk accidental alerts on personal time, they can simply turn Mobile Mode off; the user controls it.
One card, everywhere
The same card staff wear every day in the building now works beyond it. No extra device, no separate app flow. Just the existing infrastructure extended to wherever the work actually happens.
