Careers@Hilton Live : Career Preparation Camp DoubleTree by Hilton Agra  Beat The Heat- initiative
This summer soaring temperatures (Up to 47 Degrees)
have gripped parts of India in an extreme heat wave.
Inspired by our tag line Where little things mean
everything CARE Committee took Beat The Heat
initiative of putting a Cool Drink Counter at the Hotels
Staff Entrance in order to beat the heat this summer and
keeping in mind especially those associates , vendors ,
stake holders who have to bear the heat due to their job
role.
As a process this Cool Drink Counter will be placed right
at the entrance of the hotels employee entrance, right
after the air curtain from 1000 hrs till 1800 hrs on a daily
basis during summer months.
It is a joint responsibility of the CARE Committee
members in order to making sure that the area is clean
and no one is misusing the facility.
Beat The Heat
 Make reservation in a hotel well in advance, preferably in a hotel where designated floor are there for female travelers.
 Keep your guardians informed well in advance of all your movements and schedule and keep them updated about it from time to time while travelling.
 Whenever women take a taxi, especially at odd hours, they should take the photo of taxis license plate and of driver and send it to guardian(s) on WhatsApp which
should be followed by a call speaking in a language the driver understands saying they have sent the taxi number and drivers photo. Even if there is no network or
response from the number act as if you are talking to someone.
 Put the google map on so that you know if and when the taxi is deviating from the route.
 If travelling in a lift press all the buttons of all the floors so that at each floor the lift opens. This way person travelling in lift with you will not attempt doing any-
thing malicious since the lift doors are opening at each floor.
 Latch the door properly as soon as you enter the room. If there is any inter connecting room make sure that the inter connecting door is properly latched from your
side of the door. Do not open hotel rooms door for anyone if no one is anticipated. If in doubt call the hotel security to verify.
 Do not tell about your plans of going out/coming back to anyone. Tell people about your movements on need to know basis. Pretend you know the place and know
many people there.
 Keep a pepper spray handy in your purse all the time.
You can use your phone for your safety using various android applications. Here is list of top five women safety android applications.
VithU: V Gumrah Initiative
This new emergency safety application was recently launched by a TV channel company Star India Pvt Ltd. Once installed, victims just have to press the smartphone
power twice to activate the applications, then the handset automatically shoots distress messages to a set of pre-defined contacts and will continue to push geography data
every two minutes to the guardian to track the real-time location of the victim.
iFollow-Ladies safety, SOS:
This is one of the 'Nasscom sponsored FameApp contest awarding winning safety app developed by Aucupa Innovative Solutions. Once configured, victims just have to
shake the phone three times in five seconds to activate the emergency safety system, then it will call your first contact person and wait for the person to respond the call.
If he/she doesn't respond to the call iFollow will shoot a sms along with your geo location to select personal contacts (max 3). After the first message, on every ten meters
change in location, app will send SOS distress message with new location details.
I'm Shakti:
This app is developed by a Bengaluru based start-up company Notion Ink. Once installed, victim just has to press the smartphone power button five times(within two sec-
onds) to initiate the imShakti app. The application will then shoot emergency SMSs containing the user's geography location data to a set of pre-designated contacts.
One notable feature of the app is that, if the location data is not available in the phone, the safety application will send emergency text message and phone will continue to
find the location data and once found, it will once again send SMS with geography information.
spotNsave Feel Secure
This is a new app released just a few days ago and is developed by a company with the same name 'spot N save'. If a user faces dire situations, the victim will only need to
double tap smartphone power button. Once initiated, the application spotNsave will send SoS distress to guardians (or select contacts) every 2 minutes with you current
and updated location through sms. Other mentionable feature is that the app is also compatible with wristband (company's very own accessory) via Bluetooth. If users are
not able to reach out to phone, they can click buttons twice on the band to activate applications inside the phone.
SafetiPin:
This application is co-developed by Kalpana Viswanath and Ashish Basu with support from UK government's Department of International Development, Ford Founda-
tion and others.
SafetiPin is slightly different compared to other applications for, it helps user to create a group of friends who share same interests. They create a community that gives
ratings to particular place based on the security concerns and social activities as well. It gives you a map-based view of your neighborhood, community and city - support-
ed by pictures, comments and safety scores.
In case of terrorist attack on hotel, the designated floor for females will help in speedy evacuation of females.
