Halogen Group, ERA Partner On Emergency Response App 

Halogen Group, West Africa’s leading security risk solutions group, and Emergency Response Africa (ERA), a leading social enterprise dedicated to providing critical support in times of crisis, have announced a new partnership aimed at strengthening emergency response capabilities and enhancing community resilience.

ERA, with its strong experience and robust infrastructure in medical emergency response, will join forces with Halogen Group to provide a more comprehensive emergency response service, leveraging Halogen’s physical security response network as part of the features available on Signal, an emergency response app earlier introduced by ERA.

The newly reconfigured Signal app which is available on the Google Play Store and iOS app store, reflects a strategic alliance by the two leading emergency response organizations to enable users to request both medical aid and security services during emergencies by leveraging the expertise and resources of both organisations.

According to Wale Olaoye, CEO, Halogen Group, the launch of the expanded Signal Emergency app is a significant milestone for crisis management in Nigeria.

Olaoye said “We are thrilled to partner with ERA to strengthen emergency response efforts in Nigeria and make a meaningful impact on the communities we serve,” This collaboration will enable us to reach more users in time, especially at a period when they might be in emotional distress and need all the help they can get, furthering our mission of providing critical support during times of crisis.”
