Smart911 is FREE, and your information is secure, accessible only to a 9-1-1 call taker. This service can provide key information to responders that can make your family and friends safer.
For example:
- Address Details: How to access your home, number of bedrooms, location of utility shut-offs, and if you live in a multi-family building;
- Family Details: Number of residents, ages, photos of children, and your landline and mobile phone numbers;
- Medical Information: Medical conditions of certain residents, medications taken/required, allergies, mobility of residents, and if special equipment is needed in an emergency;
- Animals: A list of your pets, service animals and livestock, and their names so responders are aware of them as they enter your home. Also, include the name of your veterinarian;
- Emergency Contacts: Family members, friends or neighbors to be contacted in case of an emergency;
- Vehicles: Make, model and license plate number in case of a motor vehicle accident.
Residents can choose to provide what information they want to give first responders through Smart911. We encourage all residents to register.
