RapidSOS

When you call 9-1-1, the effectiveness of the emergency response depends on your ability to clearly communicate critical details. In high-stress or emergency situations, accurately providing this information can sometimes be difficult.

In partnership with public safety agencies and organizations certified as RapidSOS Ready, RapidSOS has developed an emergency response data platform that securely transmits life-saving information from connected devices and user-created profiles directly to 9-1-1 centers and first responders during an emergency.

Individuals can become RapidSOS Ready by creating an Emergency Health Profile. This profile allows first responders to quickly access important medical information, emergency contacts, and other critical details when it matters most, helping improve response effectiveness and patient care.

Taking a few moments to create and maintain your Emergency Health Profile can provide added peace of mind for you and your loved ones. This information can help first responders not only in Marengo County, but also while you are traveling, ensuring emergency personnel have access to vital information wherever an emergency may occur.

This is a free service available to the public. To learn more about RapidSOS and how to create your Emergency Health Profile, please visit their official website.
