Advanced Emergency Management
Some Emergency Management jurisdictions also subscribe to Smart911’s advanced Emergency Management system. In these jurisdictions, users can make information within their profile available to Emergency Management Agencies in the event of an emergency. This allows these agencies to search for individuals in need based on criteria in their profile. For example: individuals relying on electricity for medical needs or those who need assistance evacuating in a natural disaster.
If you enter an address within a jurisdiction subscribed to this service, you will be asked if you wish to participate in this program. Your participation helps your local Emergency Management agency better prepare for and respond to emergencies.

Camera Registration
Some law enforcement agencies also utilize the camera registration program. These agencies can view the location and contact information for cameras registered nearby them, and they might contact individuals if the camera's footage may be helpful in an investigation.
By adding a camera into the Smart911 system, you are opting into this program. If you do not want to share this information, delete the cameras on your account.
