 Hello. Hello? I need help. Are you okay? I can't understand. It's an emergency. Who is this? Hello? When a crisis happens, people urgently need information to make informed decisions. They also need to report their situation and request assistance. In such situations, traditional communications channels are often limited and crucial messages and life-saving information can be lost. IOM, the International Organization for Migration in partnership with Centric at Sheffield-Hollam University, introduces SCAN, a digital security communications platform that harnesses new media technology to provide real-time security updates for field staff and security officers worldwide as well as enhance situational awareness during a crisis. SCAN helps staff to Stay safe. Send your status and report a situation using photos, videos and audio messages enabling security teams to check on stranded staff members, stabilize injuries and move on to other urgent cases. Be aware of potential risks with reliable real-time news and advisories regarding relevant security situations and warnings. Clear your travels. SCAN's drip interface makes mandatory reporting of travel details easier. It also improves emergency response as officials compare your itinerary with your actual location. Feedback from field staff is used to improve response and provide timely headcounts during an incident. The SCAN dashboard creates a digital situation room in headquarters. 24-7 operations center and regional offices providing real-time security reports. The security team validates and responds to incoming information and alerts on the SCAN dashboard. Using this information, a fully detailed incident report can be created in minutes. Available in English, French, Spanish and Arabic, SCAN is currently being used by staff in over 153 countries, offering a secure lifeline for staff through their mobile devices.
