When you call 9-1-1 today, the operator receives
very little information about you – basically just your phone number and
your general location. In a situation where seconds count, being able
to provide the operator with other critical information about you and
your family the instant your call is made can be the difference between
life and death. Smart911 was created by leaders in the fields of
privacy and information management with the firm belief that providing
9-1-1 with additional timely information about you when you call, can
help speed and enhance the effectiveness of an emergency response. They are helping protect millions of people each and every day. Your safety is their business.
Smart911 is a service of Rave Mobile Safety, a
leading provider of safety software solutions. Learn more about their company at Rave Mobile Safety.
