Smart911 is a service that helps citizens provide
information to first responders that may be helpful in providing more accurate
aid quickly to an emergency at your home or work. Snohomish County 911
subscribes to Smart911.
Recently, Smart911 released a mobile app that allows you to
access your Smart911account so that you can easily modify the information that
you provide to first responders and provides alerts about
·
Severe weather
·
Major traffic incidents and road closures
·
Local emergencies such as gas leaks, missing
persons, police pursuits, etc.
Having an alert on your smartphone can help you when there
is an emergency, large or small, in your area to avoid areas or to know whether
it is safe to leave an area that is in the area of an emergency.
When you register with Smart911, you provide information
that is displayed on the 911 call taker’s/dispatcher’s screen whenever you call
911. Information can include information about your medical conditions or
needs, property details and layout, contact information for emergency contacts,
vehicle descriptions, pet information, etc.
You provide as much or as little information as your like.
The idea is that 911 personnel and first responders quickly have information
about you that can help them provide appropriate help.
