The report is used to inform a professional of an incident occuring on a marked out perimeter. The professional supervisor can be a transport authority, a town hall, a private company, a ski resort, an apartment block... To make it easier for the professional to intervene, ICE GeoAlert relays the following information to him :

  • The GPS location of the report
  • The date and time
  • The type of report (e.g : degradation, incivilité, safety...)
  • Specifications if there are some (photo, video or text )

    • Only the professional supervising the area can receive your reports. Your Contact cannot.
