Rave Mobile Safety also urges citizens to join Smart911, a public/private partnership endorsed nationwide by leading public safety and health officials. This rapidly growing service is now helping emergency responders across 22 states protect millions of citizens. Smart911 allows citizens to create a Safety Profile online at http://www.smart911.com that is automatically displayed to 9-1-1 during emergency calls.This can include home addresses associated with mobile phone numbers, medical conditions and disabilities, photos of family members, floor-plans and other rescue-related data.

This information enables emergency responders to have a comprehensive understanding of the scene before they arrive. EMS will know about medical conditions, allergies and disabilities, facilitating precise life-saving treatment. Fire crews will know not only how many residents are at a home, but locations of bedrooms, residents with special needs and even if there are pets on-premise. Police will have instant access to a child's personal information and a photograph if a child goes missing.

To see if Smart911 is in your community, please check the website. Even if it has not yet been deployed, it likely will be soon, and a destination you're visiting on July 4 may already be protected by Smart911.
