Launched 2026: RedBag REunify

Reunification Built for Today’s Schools
Reunification is one of the most critical and most challenging responsibilities a school may face during an emergency.
For years, schools have relied on paper-based processes that brought structure and consistency to reunification planning. These methods established an important foundation, helping districts create roles, procedures, and accountability during high-stress events.
But today’s schools face a different reality.
Large student populations, limited staffing, heightened parent expectations, and the need for real-time information demand a faster, more scalable approach.
REunify modernizes reunification by combining proven reunification principles with the speed, communication, and accountability that technology makes possible.
Reunification of students and parents

With REunify, districts can:

  • Start reunification operations without waiting for every student to arrive at a single location.
  • Give parents a secure, streamlined digital registration and identity verification experience—without the wait, the lines, or the confusion.
  • Communicate with families through secure links with no apps to install, accounts to create, or passwords to remember.
  • Track student locations, parent requests, release status, and reunification progress in real time.
  • Notify families when their child is ready for pickup, reducing congestion, and unnecessary waiting at reunification sites.
  • Scale operations by quickly adding trained staff and volunteers into designated roles as incident needs evolve.
  • Reduce dependency on paper forms, runners, binders, badges, and manual tracking processes.
  • Minimize staffing requirements while improving operational efficiency and accountability.
  • Maintain a complete digital record of reunification activities for documentation, reporting, and after-action review.
The Result

Faster

Families receive secure notifications, complete registration before arrival, and are notified when their child is ready for pickup—reducing wait times and helping reunification sites operate more efficiently.

More Scalable

Districts can rapidly expand reunification operations by assigning additional personnel to support specific tasks and workflows as an incident grows, without requiring extensive training or specialized equipment.

More Efficient

Staff spend less time managing paperwork, manually cross-referencing information, and moving forms between teams, allowing them to focus on students and families.

More Accountable

District leaders maintain real-time visibility into student location, parent requests, authorized pickup status, releases, and outstanding actions throughout the entire operation.

Less Traumatic

Clear communication, predictable processes, and reduced uncertainty help lower stress for students, staff, and families during an already difficult situation.

Modern Reunification for Modern Schools

The goal is not to replace proven reunification principles. The goal is to make them operationally achievable in today’s environment.
 
Schools have evolved. Technology has evolved. Reunification should evolve too.
 
Reunify helps districts move beyond paper-based processes and toward a reunification model designed for the speed, communication, scalability, and accountability schools need today.
