Evacuation statuses

During an active evacuation, a person's safety status appears on two surfaces with two different label sets: the self-report prompt the recipient sees in their alert, and the roll call safety officers watch on the dashboard. The recipient's report flows through to the officer's view, and officers can also set a status by hand.

The recipient self-report prompt

The link in each alert lets a recipient mark themselves as one of two options:

• Safe

• In Danger

That is the entire choice the recipient makes. What an officer sees, though, is the richer roll call below.

The dashboard roll call

On the Visitor Log (and Employee Logs), each person shows one of these statuses, both as a summary tile at the top and in the Evacuation Status column per person:

Status	Means
Safe	The person has been marked safe through one of the available channels. Shown in green.
Needs Assistance	The person has responded that they are in danger or not safe. Shown in red.
No Response	A notification was sent but no response has been received. Shown in amber.
Signed Out	The person was onsite but had already signed out before the event started. Shown in grey.
N/A	The evacuation status does not apply to this person's record. Shown in grey.

How the two surfaces map

A recipient's In Danger self-report surfaces to officers as Needs Assistance on the roll call. The recipient never sees the words "Needs Assistance"; the officer never sees a separate "In Danger" label. They are the same event seen from two sides.

Walkthrough: reading each evacuation status on the dashboard.

Setting a status manually

Officers do not have to wait for a self-report. Click a person's status in the Evacuation Status column to open the Update Evacuation Status dialog, then choose Needs Assistance or Safe. A note is required on every update, so each change carries a reason.

Walkthrough: manually updating a person's evacuation status.

A status can be changed from any state and as often as needed. Each change is recorded, giving a timestamped audit trail per person from the first notification through to the final status.

Note: Muster-point sign-outs feed the same model. During an event, a kiosk sign-in or sign-out registers as a muster event and updates the roll call automatically.
