DistantEmergency for Android

11 things about DistantEmergency

1. Enter a distant address (voice dictation is supported) and click Find Emergency Dispatch to view the 911/emergency dispatch agency covering that location.

2. DistantEmergency uses ArcGIS geolocation data and a proprietary database built with publicly available 911/emergency dispatch agency contact and coverage data from sources such as DHS, FCC, public records and direct outreach to agencies themselves.

3. For an emergency in a distant location, you would need to report the distant address to this operator, who would need to research which agency covers that location and how to contact them, wasting precious time.

4. DistantEmergency lets you contact the distant 911/emergency dispatch agency immediately and your contact’s address is already displayed to you in the app.

5. With preconfigured contacts, you do not need a data or internet connection to contact a distant 911/emergency dispatch agency…just phone reception.

6. To report an emergency at your own location or within the same 911 agency coverage area, dial 911 by phone.

7. DistantEmergency lets you find, save and, if ever necessary, call the 911/emergency dispatch agency for U.S. locations.

8. DistantEmergency is for emergency use only when the caller and emergency location are in different 911 agency coverage areas.

9. In order for a DistantEmergency call to be made, your device must have cellular phone calling service.

10. DistantEmergency cannot determine the location of a distant emergency.

11. If DistantEmergency does not work properly in an emergency, dial 911 by phone.
