What is Smart911?
- Smart911 is a free service that allows users to provide more information about themselves or their households to 911 centers in case of emergencies.
- Once you have a Smart911 profile, when anyone dials 911 from any of the phones associated with the profile (including mobile phones) 911 call takers have access to much more information, including any medical conditions that you provide.
- This service is helpful for everyone, especially for those with mobile/wireless devices that may be used to call 911, those with medical conditions or a disability, or those who have caretaker or guardian responsibilities for vulnerable relatives.
How does Smart911 differ from Alert Seattle?
- Smart911 provides information to the City of Seattle only when you call 911. The City cannot access this information except when you call to report an emergency.
- Alert Seattle is the City's official emergency alert system which can send text, email, and phone alerts during emergencies based on your location. Learn more about AlertSeattle here.
