In today's world, we are constantly reminded of the possibility of suddenly being confronted with the worst case scenario. That being natural disasters, accidents, or terrorist attacks. We are quickly placed in a situation where we desperately need to hear from people that might be involved. We just want to reach out, and check if the people we are responsible for are ok, or if they are in a situation that needs help or assistance.
Social media has responded to this need by letting people share "I am ok" with their friends when situations involving larger crowds and danger occur. Social media works great for letting your Facebook friends know that you are safe. But it does not provide a solution to verify whether all persons involved are ok.
RAYVN has a great tool to solve this problem in immediate emergency response. Organizations, businesses or event organizers can easily initiate a direct line of communication with all that you are responsible for. In a matter of seconds, you can send an SMS to the persons you are concerned about, and ask "Are you safe?". They can answer OK, or reply NO, with further explanation of their situation.
RAYVN collects all responses, and let you visually see the status of everyone. Those who are safe, those that haven't responded, and the ones that replied that they are not ok. RAYVN handles all the replies, and let you focus on the people that need help.
The functionality is simple but has enormous advantages when confronted with the worst case scenario.

When a complex and sudden situation occurs, your ability to reach the people concerned is vital for their overall safety. By getting immediate feedback from people, you will be able to focus the emergency response in a very precise way.
Potentially there will be a need to reach out to thousands of people. Without a tool for handling all responses, this will quickly become an overwhelming task. Leaving the people in peril, without a way to reach out for help.
