Swift911 Public – A Comprehensive Alerting Tool
Swift911 Public is a mobile application designed to keep users informed about emergencies in their area. This free app utilizes the Swift911 Alerting Platform, allowing users to receive alerts from counties, towns, and businesses that are part of the SwiftReach network. After a straightforward registration process, users can opt-in to receive notifications about critical emergencies and informational alerts based on their location. Users are encouraged to inform local authorities about the benefits of adopting Swift911 if they do not already have an account.
The app leverages GPS technology to provide timely alerts, especially during public events or emergencies in close proximity. Users can customize their notification preferences, choosing from voice calls, emails, or text messages. Additionally, the app allows users to share specific needs with emergency personnel, such as requiring wheelchair access, and even attach photos of their home for easier identification during emergencies. Note that prolonged GPS use may lead to increased battery consumption.
