SMART 911 INITIATIVE:A PROGRAM FOR DISTRICT RESIDENTS TO STORE CRIT ICAL CARE AND EMERGENCY RESCUE INFORMATION IN ADVANCE OF ANY EMERGENCY
A citizen can setup a secure personal profi le that is only available to 911 operators and fi rst responders in the event of an emergency call.
The profi le can detail anything from fl oor plans, names, pictures and medical/prescription needs of occupants, pet and service animal information, and more!
It makes locating calls made from a wireless device easier to place and can make a life-saving diff erence in response time.
Can give peace of mind to parents and caregivers of the elderly or disabled that medical information will be available in an emergency, even if the person who is calling cannot communicate.
Cit izens can sign up for the service at https://www.smart911.com/. I t only takes a few minutes to create a profi le.
