Increasing public safety is a high priority around the world. The high penetration of mobile telephony today gives opportunities for new features that radically improve the chance to save lives, particularly after a natural disaster.
Direct your rescue resources
Because we have the ability to position mobile telephones, laws and regulations have been passed that make it mandatory to be able to locate the origin of a 112/911 emergency call. This location information reduces the time it takes for first responders to react, and minimizes mistakes in where to respond. To be able to handle all calls, on a nationwide basis, an aggregation function is needed which covers all networks and operators. Mobilaris’ software offers that functionality. At the other end, visualization on a map helps the operator receiving the emergency call to respond to the request. .
Information is the key
Natural disasters like bush fires, tsunamis, flooding and other catastrophes like industrial accidents with gas leakage or nuclear radiation are unfortunately increasingly common and take many lives. If the correct information is communicated to the public at the right time, the consequences can be minimized or completely avoided. Many countries have old methods to send out warnings to the community like radio or alarm signals. However, today at few people listen to or even own a radio. Further, alarm signals are, unfortunately, rarely understood. With the Mobilaris software, modern methods are available to warn those who are in danger, and they should be implemented.
