GUEST SPEAKER
Andrea Benson and ChipVanSteenberg spoke with the club about Montgomery 911 new changes. The Montgomery 911 is a small unit of local government they are not a part of the County. Funds are collected from the 911 fees you see on your cell phone and homeline. These funds are used to support infrastructure the service. The Montgomery 911 support call centers with addressing and mapping. There are five areas that are being updated and changed explained below.
Smart 911-All citizens of Montgomery County at no additional cost can set up a profile at smart911.com. The profile will give the first responder current information about your health and emergency contacts. The profile will allow you to list and identify everyone that lives in the household, pets, and list of medications, and allergies you may have. The profile can list as little or much information you would like. The profiles you build are private sharing and held at Rate Mobile Safety. The information will only be accessed when you call in during an emergency.
Emergency Alerts-Code Red Alerts from Montgomery County are customized automated weather warnings. The Code Red Alerts can call any landline, cell phone, or e-mail you have registered on your profile. All Emergency alerts will come through Smart 911. Between now and September 1st dual notifications will sent. You can began receiving the notificationsby building a profile. The only information you need to start building a profile is minimum; name, address, email address, and phone number.
Smart911 Facility- Similar to Smart 911, but this product is for the business, school, church, etc. This will allow business to upload floor plans, employee names, and information about the facility. This product features a geo-fence boundary of the facility therefore; if anyone makes a call with a cell phone it can populate the profile and location of the call from within the facility.
Text 911-Can you send a text to 911? The FCC is encouraging text to be sent to 911. This feature will be available in early 2017. This process takes about 6 months prior to the launch date to be implemented.
Multi-Line Telephone System-As a result of Kari’s Law that was passed any facility that has multi-lines will no longer have to dial 9-911. To ensure that when you are in an emergency you can dial Direct Access to 911.
For more information or to coordinate a test call please contact Jeanne Frey at 936-523-5911 or
