Keeping teams safe with TenFour
Rioting broke out in the slums near the Akirachix office after a contested election. Many of the students and trainees in Akirachix STEM programming were stuck in the slum where the attacks were happening.
Linda reached out for TenFour and sent a blast "Are You OK?" message to find out if everyone was safe. People started checking in immediately over SMS and email.
In real time, Linda could see who needed help and who hadn't yet replied.
"Within hours, everyone was safe and accounted for and the organization was able to resume its programs."
