THE LEWIS AND CLARK HELENA 9-
1-1 DISPATCH CENTER IS LETTING
THE PUBLIC KNOW ABOUT A NEW APP
THAT AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDE
9-1-1 CALL TAKERS AND FIRST
RESPONDERS CRITICAL
INFORMATION IN AN EMERGENCY.
TAKE VO
THE FREE APP CALLED SMART 9- 1-1
CAN PROVIDE DISPATCHERS WITH
YOUR ADDRESSES, MEDICAL
INFORMATION, HOME
INFORMATION, DESCRIPTION OF PETS
AND VEHICLES, AND
EMERGENCY CONTACTS.
INDIVIDUALS CAN PROVIDE AS MUCH
OR AS LITTLE INFORMATION AS
THEY CHOOSE AND THE APP ISFULLY
COMPATIBLE WITH THE RAVE SYSTEM

9-1-1 CENTER MANAGER PETER
CALLAHAN SAYS THE APP IS VERY
EASY TO USE AND IS A GREAT TOOL
FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES.




TAKE SOT: XX:12 OC:..FOR MASS
NOTIFICATION.
I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE'S
RESERVATIONS, SENSITIVITY
TOWARDS PRIVACY AND NOT WANTING
TO DISCLOSE INFORMATION.
BUT AS A PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIAL
I CAN'T NOT OVERSTRESS THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING SIGNED UP
FOR MASS NOTIFICATION. ON
CAMERA TAG
THE LEWIS AND CLARK HELENA 9-
1-1 DISPATCH CENTER WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT
FEMA WILL BE SENDING OUT A
PRESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY TEST ON
THURSDAY AT 10-20 IN THE
MORNING.
EVERY CELL PHONE WITH IN RANGE
OF A CELL TOWER WILL RECEIVE THE
TEST ALERT AT THE SAME TIME.
THIS WILL ONLY BE A TEST AND
THERE IS NO NEED TO CONTACT
9-1-1 ABOUT IT.
