What is a geofence?

A "geofence" is a virtual geographic boundary that enables LiveSafe software to trigger a response when a mobile device enters or leaves a particular area.  Specific to LiveSafe, geofences can be used to allow app users traveling between communities to be automatically invited to join the community nearest their location, send alerts or notifications to users entering the geofence (evacuation areas, contamination zones, closed roads/sidewalks, etc.).
