For those districts following the standard response protocol, Raptor is officially licensed to offer the I Love You Guys Foundation's terminology and iconography within the application. Compliant with Alissa's Law alerts can be initiated from any web enabled device including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and desktop computers. Users can initiate campus wide emergency notifications for critical incidents such as lockdown or maybe an evacuation. Pressing the button automatically sends detailed situation specific alerts so that everyone knows how to respond.
