What is the difference between a safety circle and a message group?

A Message Group can be tied to an organization's CrisisGo account and can open up access to many additional features such as Alert, Report, Roster Event, and Check In.  Once a message group is tied to an organization's CrisisGo account, information sent in the group is recorded in an online console.

A Safety Circle allows you to create a personal communication group that can be used with family and friends.  The safety circle allows everyone in the group to communicate with each other and also gives everyone access to the panic button.  Information sent in a safety circle is not recorded.  Please note that a Safety Circle is limited to 30 members.
