When someone on your team sends a Team Alert, you will receive a notification. You can tap on the notification to view that team member's location and to respond to the Team Alert:
- Yes = I can assist
- No = I can't assist
The team member who sent the Team Alert (as well as anyone else on your team who received their Team Alert) will be able to see what you responded. You can also view other team members' responses.
You can change your response anytime and your team will be updated with your new response.
