RESPONDING TO A MAYDAY

A Mayday is a call for help. Here's how to respond.

For Unit Leaders

1. You'll receive an immediate push notification.
2. Tap to view the member's profile and any notes they included.
3. Reach out directly via in-app message, phone, or text.
4. Follow up within 24 hours.

For Unit Members

You may also see the Mayday in your activity feed. If you have a relationship with that person, reach out. Sometimes a familiar voice matters more than a leader's.

Important

Radio Check is not a crisis service. If someone is in immediate danger:

• Call 911

• Call the Veterans Crisis Line: 988 (Press 1)

• Text 838255

After the Mayday

Follow up. One message isn't enough. Check in on them the next day and the day after.
