Create Response Templates

Curate relevant response plans for different types of incidents.

Workplace Site Admins can create Response Templates for different types of incidents. A Response Template defines:

• Who needs to be accounted for as evacuees

• What statuses can be assigned to evacuees

• Where evacuees can be marked as present

For schools, configure the Response Template for Reunification and set up a Guardian Form.

People

This setting defines who will be tracked as evacuees when a Response Template is launched. You can choose from three groups:

• Students – All students in the school linked to the Workplace site.

• Staff – All Workplace employees assigned to the site.

• Visitors (from Guest) – All visitors signed in on the day the Response is launched.

Reunification

For K12 customers, enabling Reunification lets employees check in guardians and mark students as reunified. This adds a Reunified status for evacuees. Admins can also customize a Guardian Form to collect guardian information at check-in.

Person Statuses

Admins can define which statuses can be assigned to evacuees. If Reunification is enabled, a Reunified status will always be available.

Location Names

Admins can define where evacuees and guardians (if Reunification is enabled) are expected to assemble.
