With Smart911, both 9-1-1 call takers and first responders can know exactly what you want them to know during any kind of emergency. You can add vital information, such as: information about members of your household, medical details, disabilities and equipment, address and property details, as well as emergency contact information and communication preferences.

What Information Should I Include in My Profile?

• People – Names, physical descriptions, and photos will help responders act quickly if a child goes missing, or help identify individuals in an emergency.

• Medical Information – Existing conditions, allergies, disabilities and equipment, medications being taken by all members of your household.
