  • Speak it: Read the three words to emergency dispatchers.
  • Share it: Tap "Share" to text or email your location code to others.
  • Learn more: Check YouTube for detailed tutorials on how the app works.

Medical Safety

  • Medical ID Bracelet: If you have a chronic condition, wear a medical ID bracelet or tag so responders are aware of your needs.
  • Phone Medical ID: Set up the "Emergency/Medical ID" feature on your iPhone or Android. This allows medics to view your health info from your lock screen without needing your password.
