At Securewest our Travel Risk clients have access to global alerts. Relevant, timely information presented to you to help you identify threats and prevent harm. They are rated high, medium and low severity and are available via the SPHERE app and portal.
Your travellers privacy settings will influence what alerts they are shown since they are filtered based on location. The more exact location you allow, the more relevant the alerts you will receive. If you select additional countries of interest in the settings, you will also see those alerts in the feed on the Home Page.
When you receive a medium or high risk alert, you can confirm that you are OK by pressing the I’m OK button inside the alert. This then informs our Global Response Centre about your well-being.
We have provided a summary below of over 70 HIGH severity alerts which were sent out last month (September 2022). The full alerts on the platform and app provide information about incidents and offer advice and recommendations.
