Get Critical Data to First Responders
Better informed first responders are better equipped to help you. With Smart911 paramedics are aware of critical medical information like Alzheimer's or allergies. Police have children's photos in case of an Amber Alert and Firefighters know household details - ensuring that everyone is rescued during an evacuation - even pets.
How It Works
The software provides citizens with the ability to enter information that they want to make available to 911 call takers through a secure website. Smart911 then delivers this information automatically with any 911 call placed within Porter County to the call taker's work station at the Emergency Communications Center.
Details Shared
You decide what details are shared. Smart911 allows you to store any critical care and emergency rescue information online in advance of any emergency. Information can include children's photos, medical conditions, home addresses of mobile phone callers, disabilities or other rescue-related information. View the complete list of options.
Registration Process
The registration process is quick and easy... just 4 simple steps! After completing the steps, you will have a chance to add optional information or edit the information you have provided. You must complete every step or the service will not work until you have added and confirmed a phone number.
