December 12, 2012

    Today Erie County launched a new website called Safetown... And what it does is connect the community to first responders.

 

    In his line of business of saving lives and property, seconds count.

    Director of Public Safety Todd Geers tells us Erie County's newest website; Safetown is yet another tool that helps render aid more quickly.

    This is the second Safetown site in the nation.. And it launched right here in Erie County.

    The site, which will also be available via smartphone allows people to self register their information that's instantly presented to first responders if they were to call... That information could save a life.

    And it's simple... It takes under five minutes to create a profile for your family. All you do is enter your name, address, phone number and certain comments that you think a first responder should know...

   

There's also a community alert tab that lets you know exactly what is happening in the community..

    County Executive Barry Grossman says this kind of technology is good to get the youth involved as well.

GREAT idea!!! :) This will help so many people who have some type of medical problems already, and it takes so much time in an emergency to try & remember all the problems a patient might have, it shaves a lot of time on the way to a Hospital if they already KNOW what is wrong with a patient!! :)
