When you receive a KATANA Safety alert from someone, they are counting on you to help in whatever capacity you can — whether that’s by contacting them via phone call, alerting those closest to their location of the situation, or contacting local authorities or emergency services for them.

Your first step upon receiving and alert is to open the text message you receive. From this, find the users location and determine your ability to support. If you can help, click the “I can help” button. This will notify the user and other Circle members that you can help. Your phone will ring and you will be added into a shared conference call so that together you can coordinate next steps. It’s all part of a bigger plan in which we share responsibility for each other’s safety.
