Alerting

Quick Alerting – with just one click

In an emergency situation, every second counts. The NICA Alarm App for schools enables alerting with just one click. A short countdown can help protect against false alarms – without unnecessarily slowing down the process.

Alarm with one click

No menus and searching – the most important alarm is right under your finger.

Short countdown

Can prevent false alarms in everyday situations without slowing down the process.

Clear screen

Reduced UI that remains quick and safe to operate even under stress.

Consistent design

Same look and feel on iOS and Android for consistency.

Critical Alarms

Critical alarms – can reach even silent devices

In acute emergencies, the alarm can be played loudly on iOS and Android devices – it can override silent and "Do Not Disturb" mode, provided critical alerts are enabled on the device. This way, important messages can arrive in time.

Critical Alarm

Played loudly – can override silent/DND mode if critical alerts are enabled on the device. For active shooter, fire, or medical emergencies.

Freely selectable

Users can decide for each alarm whether it is played loudly or silently.

Individual instructions for each role

Role-based instructions & immediate measures

Not every person needs the same information. With NICA, teachers, administration, and other roles only receive the tasks that are relevant to them – clear, structured, and without distraction.

Tasks by role

Each person only sees the steps they are responsible for in an emergency.

Reduced information overload

Instead of lengthy checklists: few, clear tasks per role.

For different scenarios

Fire alarm, active shooter, or medical emergencies – tasks remain clear and manageable.

Perfect for schools

Clear and comprehensible instructions, tailored to the role of the staff.

Communication

Integrated chat function for fast communication in emergencies

Our emergency chat enables quick inquiries and coordination. Through broadcasts, school management or crisis teams can send time-critical situation updates to all alerted individuals.

Chat for inquiries

Quick clarification of uncertainties directly during the ongoing emergency.

Moderated broadcasts

Situation updates come centrally from school management or crisis team.

Parties stay on the same page – even in dynamic situations.
