New Smart911 App to Better Protect Residents in Emergencies

The new Smart 911 app provides greater access to the lifesaving benefits of Smart911, plus targeted location-based alerts to all residents. 
 
Smart911 is the only way community members can create a Safety Profile that displays when they call 9-1-1. Via the Smart911 mobile app, households can create a Safety Profile featuring any information about their household that they want 9-1-1 and response teams to have in the event of an emergency. When a community member makes an emergency call, their Safety Profile automatically displays to the 9-1-1 call taker, allowing them to send help faster and more efficiently.
In addition, the app provides enhanced functionality by sending targeted alerts based on the user's location. Smart911 app users will receive the highest priority National Weather Service alerts including tornado warnings, flash flood warnings, and severe thunderstorm warnings based on their real-time location.

If you had to dial 9-1-1:

  • Are they aware of your medical condition?
  • Are they aware that you may need a specific treatment plan?
  • Are they aware that you may not be communicating because of a medical condition?
  • Are they aware of where you live when you call from your mobile phone?
  • Are they aware of your emergency contacts that should be notified?
  • Are they aware of your service animal?

They can be, if you take some time to plan ahead.  Create a Safety Profile with Smart911 and make them aware.  It can save seconds in an emergency.

This proven application has been deployed in communication centers around the world in applications from 9-1-1 dispatch to mobile command centers and transportation management.

Smart911 - School Safety Checklist

  • Don’t put your child’s name on his or her backpack or clothing. If your child’s name is easily readable on his or her backpack, it makes it easier for strangers to approach them.
  • Teach your children that any adult they don’t know is a stranger, even if they look nice, and that they should never go anywhere with a stranger.
  • Educate your child on when and how to dial 9-1-1. Make sure your children know when they should dial 9-1-1, how to dial 9-1-1, and their home address.
  • Create a Smart911 Safety Profile to provide 9-1-1 and first responders additional information that can help protect your family in an emergency. 
  • Sign up for emergency alerts for your local area with Rave Alerts through Smart911.
