Enhanced 911 Systems
Someone needs help, calls 911 but rescue workers can’t
find the victim. E-911 (Enhanced 911) is one of the capabilities
organizations are looking towards to help address this
issue and to increase the safety of their employees
and visitors. With an enhanced 911 system emergency response
officials can pinpoint the victim automatically, without
the caller saying a word.
The process of providing up-to-date location information
to your public safety answering point (PSAP) is automated,
enabling emergency personnel to more effectively respond
to 911 calls.
If a call is made to the 911 center and the person
can’t
talk, or doesn’t know exactly where he is located,
help could arrive late. Lives could be threatened. Safety
could be jeopardized. Rescue workers could be impaired from
doing their jobs. In short, your emergency response plan
could be thrown for a loop if police, fire or paramedics
can’t respond quickly because they can’t locate
a 911 caller.
New enhanced 911 (E-911) provides a better way to
find the victim and deliver help.
