smartphones & 911 - nlc ignite talk
TRANSCRIPT
Dispatchers don’t always get your exact location
You aren’t being routed to closest help
This is because 911 was deployed in the 70’s when we all had landlines
10,000 lives lost per year
FCC Estimate because of slower response time. Almost same amount as people murdered in USA in a year.
0.50-$4.00/mo of 911 fees on every phone bill
There is at least $5B/yr that can be spent on improving the system
Starting fresh, the ideal solution would…
• Be mobile with you
• Be a trusted source of reassurance
• Route to the nearest responders
• Alert your emergency contacts
• Share critical data
• Ready for new digital platforms
We are first focused on the areas where 911 is absolutely broken
