Ensuring student safety requires fast, accurate data and reliable communication channels. Orah provides a robust suite of tools to manage emergency roll calls and facilitate two-way messaging with your entire school community.

Updated this week

1. Emergency Rolls

Move away from paper lists and transition to a real-time digital accountability system. These tools allow you to initiate, conduct, and analyze emergency drills or real-life incidents with precision.

  • Creating and Managing Emergency Rolls: Learn how to set up your emergency templates, define who is included in the roll, and assign specific staff members as responders.

  • Conducting Emergency Rolls: Understand the live experience of a roll call. See how staff can mark students as "Safe" or "Unaccounted For" simultaneously across multiple devices, giving admins a live feed of the school's safety status.

  • Exporting Emergency Roll Reports: After a drill or incident, data is vital for compliance and review. Learn how to export detailed reports that show exactly when students were accounted for and by whom.

2. Communication & Broadcasts

Keep everyone informed with centralized messaging that reaches parents, students, and staff instantly.

  • Broadcasts and 2-Way Communication: Discover how to send one-way "Broadcasts" for urgent announcements and how to manage "2-Way Communication" for ongoing dialogue. This ensures that whether you are sending a school-wide update or chatting with an individual parent, all history is stored securely within the Orah platform.
