Smart911?
« on: June 19, 2013, 12:19:53 am »
Anyone see the news about this program Suffolk County is getting involved with?

https://www.smart911.com/

Smart911 is a free service that allows citizens across the U.S. to create a Safety Profile for their household that includes any information they want 9-1-1 to have in the event of an emergency. Then, when anyone in that household dials 9-1-1 from a phone associated with their Safety Profile, their profile is immediately displayed to the 9-1-1 call taker providing additional information that can be used to facilitate the proper response to the proper location. At a time when seconds count, being about to provide 9-1-1 with all details that could impact response the second an emergency call is placed could be the difference between life and death.

Is this active?
Sounds like a great idea. the dispatcher would have key info right off the bat with out who ever is on the other end having to inform them. sounds like somehting our tax dollars should have put into effect long ago, doesnt seem it would be all that difficult with caller id technology...
