What emergency Alert Broadcast does
Emergency Alert Broadcast is one of the modules societies ask for most. In short, it sends an instant alert to every resident and guard during a fire, medical, or security emergency — removing a task that used to depend on a register, a phone call, or someone remembering.
Key benefits
- Reaches the whole society in one broadcast.
- Separate from routine notices so it stands out.
- Can be triggered by the guard or the office.
- Delivery status visible to whoever sent it.
How it works
1
Turn it on
The admin enables emergency Alert Broadcast for your society from the Secure Nest dashboard — no separate installation needed.
2
Set your rules
Configure it to match how your society actually works: who can approve, what gets logged, and who's notified.
3
It runs itself
From here, emergency Alert Broadcast works in the background — residents, guards, and the committee all see the same up-to-date record.
Why societies choose this
Societies that switch to emergency Alert Broadcast usually do it after one too many disputes or missed handoffs around this exact task. Once it's digital, the same information is visible to residents, guards, and the committee at the same time — which is usually what actually resolves the friction.
Frequently asked questions
In most cases, yes. Emergency Alert Broadcast runs on the Secure Nest app and dashboard, and where hardware is involved (like cameras or access devices), it's designed to work alongside common existing setups rather than requiring a full replacement.
Yes — it's built for residents and staff who may not be comfortable with complex apps. Most residents are up and running within their first use, and guards typically need only a short walkthrough.
Yes. Records created through this module are stored securely and access is limited by role, so residents, guards, and committee members only see what's relevant to them.
