So I just heard about Smart911 and the idea sounds cool. Basically you register your number to include some details about you or your family. Heres from the website:

"Smart911 allows citizens to provide the additional details that 9-1-1 call takers may need in order to assist them during an emergency. When you dial 9-1-1 today the information received by the 9-1-1 call center can be limited based on the type of phone you are calling on."

I think it could be helpful to share how many people live in the home, esp small children who may not be able to help themselves. To share if there are pets in the home. To share if there is like a special code at the gate to get into the property. To share if there is any special medical, intellectual or emotional needs in the family. To indicate forms of communication needed besides English (ie sign language or foreign language.) And I think it would be wonderful for all domestic violence sufferers to have a profile made with the details there.

But, then Im like...."Eh, how vulnerable is this information to hacker attack? Is it dangerous to provide this info to 'big brother' does it open any cans or worms best kept shut??" So I thought Id check in here and see what people here think and know!!

(keep in mind this is in a public forum. We can move it to a more private place if a poster requests.)
