What is the CarlAlert Mobile Safety App
The CarlAlert Safety App lets the Carleton community receive safety alerts with confidence – even when cell systems or SMS services are down – directly through an app downloaded from the iTunes or Google Play app stores. While CarlAlerts received over email and text can look like spam, Safety App users immediately recognize CarlAlerts as true and can respond confidently.
The safety app provides additional useful features including an SOS alert, emergency call to security, safe corridor escort, check-in, and a link to the Carleton Emergency Quick Guide.
