With Smart911®, community members provide key information including addresses, photos, medical conditions and much more.
Smart911 Safety Profiles help 9-1-1 call takers and first responders make faster and better decisions,
shorten response times, and save lives.
Anyone can create a Smart911 Safety Profile for free at Smart911.com or on the Smart911 mobile app. They can include phone numbers, home and work addresses, family member information, photos, medical conditions,
disabilities, even pet information.
When a 9-1-1 call is received, if the telephone number (ANI) is in the national Smart911 database, the Safety Profile instantly displays to the call taker, containing critical information to the response, such as hearing impaired, domestic violence risk, lethal allergy, and others.
Smart911 has been credited with positively impacting emergency situations across the U.S., including a missing child case in Arkansas, and saving lives, such as a heart attack victim in Nashville and a stroke victim in Virginia.

Using Rave 911 Suite’s Chat component, call takers can initiate 2-way text conversations with any mobile caller. If an emergency caller is non-verbal, disconnected, or has poor coverage, 9-1-1 call takers can easily contact them to send help or verify accidental dials.
Chat sessions may only be initiated by call takers. A caller cannot text 9-1-1 to start Rave 911 Suite Chat session.
Chat is optimized for use by callers with hearing or speech impairments. A deaf person can indicate in their Smart911 Safety Profile that they are hard of hearing and prefer to communicate via Chat. When they dial 9-1-1, the 9-1-1 call taker will receive a notification to communicate via Chat.
Chat has been especially effective in dangerous situations where the victim was afraid to talk such as incidents of domestic violence, home invasion or suicidal caller. The two-way text messages in these incidents provided additional information to safely send first responders to the scene before the incidents escalated further.
Rave Facility provides accurate site details with 9-1-1 calls originating from any facility that creates a Rave Facility Profile.
Information can include floor plans, key personnel, utility shut off locations, hazardous material, AED locations and more. Rave Facility reduces the cost and overhead of maintaining accurate facility information and facilitates interagency collaboration and data sharing with responders, 9-1-1, fire inspectors, and other key personnel.
A Rave Facility profile displays automatically when the caller’s landline ANI matches a registered telephone number in the account, or when the Phase II wireless location in the ALI overlaps the geo-fenced footprint of an account. Call takers and first responders can also search for a facility if information is needed during an incident without a 9-1-1 call such as a business check, suspect search or fire.
Rave Facility has improved the speed and efficiency of emergency response by providing evacuation routes and hydrant locations during a fire, AED locations during a medical emergency, and floor plans in the event of an active shooter.

Call takers can record and view Notes on the number of times the PSAP has received a 9-1-1 call from the caller’s phone number, the number of notes recorded against the phone number, and an expanded view that displays both prior tickets and Notes information available for the caller’s phone number.
For prank callers, NSI phones, frequent fliers, histories of domestic violence, and dropped calls, Notes has proven to be an invaluable took for call takers to share and receive information.
