Download the HSC Alert Mobile App
The HSC Alert App comes with a number of new safety tools, including:
Friend Walk
Send your location to a friend or family member so they can follow your progress until you reach your destination. Friend Walk works wherever you are!*
Here’s how it works:
-
Tap the “Friend Walk” button in the App and choose a contact. Your friend will receive a text message with a link. Once they click the link, they will see a map with your active location.
-
Set your destination and start moving. Use the crosshairs to select a final destination on the map. Your friend will see your destination and be able to track your progress.
At any time on your journey, you can hit the “Emergency Button” to notify your friend to make an emergency call!
-
Finish your trip and disconnect. Once you’ve safely reached your destination, click “Finish Trip” to complete your Friend Walk.
* Friend Walk will work anywhere as long as you have a data connection and your location services are turned on.
