New Canaan Police have issued a message saying: Beat the STORM, Be SMART, and Be PREPARED! Register now for New Canaan’s SMART 911.
Smart911 is a free service used by public safety agencies across the country to enhance communication and response for their community. It can be used by 9-1-1 agencies to quickly send first responders to the location of an emergency with more information, by emergency management to better plan for and respond to disasters, and by municipalities to send emergency notifications to their citizens.
The 9-1-1 service of Smart911 allows you to create a Safety Profile for your household which will proactively provide details on your family and home that 9-1-1 may need in order to send help in the event of an emergency.
The emergency management service of Smart911 allows you to answer questions about yourself, your family and your household that will help emergency management officials plan for and respond to disasters by being able to understand the needs of their community.
While every community may offer a different combination of services to their citizens, your Smart911 account will allow you to opt-in and manage all services available to you in one place. Smart911 is free, private and secure and endorsed by citizens, community groups and public safety officials. Smart911’s availability is constantly expanding as communities across the country are implementing one or all of the three services offered to enhance their public safety services.
