Smart911 & Rave Alert System
Smart911
Boone County Joint Communications offers a free service to help you when you call 911.
Once signed up, first responders will be provided important information that will help them address your emergency. This information—including photos, medical issues and current location—can help Police, Fire, and EMS locate and help you. The information you provide is kept private and secure.
Rave Alert
Rave Alert is Boone County's new notification system. This dynamic, multi-function notification system allows Boone County 911 and the Office of Emergency Management to notify residents of emergency situations or disasters in our community. Utilizing your Smart911™ profile you create, Rave Alert allows you to register for those notifications most pertinent to you, from road closures and vehicle crashes to hazardous material spills and missing persons. You will receive focused messaging geared specifically to your information and safety needs.
Are You Ready For Emergencies?
How does Smart911 help?
Better informed first responders are better equipped to help you. With Smart911, paramedics are aware of critical medical information such as Alzheimer's or allergies. Police have children's photos in case of an Amber Alert and Fire Fighters know household details, ensuring that everyone is rescued during an evacuation—even pets.
How does Smart911 work?
The software provides citizens with the ability to enter information that they want to make available to 911 emergency telecommunicators through a secure website at www.Smart911.com. Smart911 then delivers this information automatically with any 911 call placed within Boone County to the emergency telecommunicator's work station at the Emergency Communications Center.
What details are shared with responders?
You decide. Smart911 allows you to store any critical care and emergency rescue information online in advance of any emergency. Information can include children's photos, medical conditions, home addresses of mobile phone callers, disabilities or other rescue-related information. Visit the Smart911 FAQ for more information.
How do I register?
The registration process is quick and easy: just four simple steps! After registering you will have a chance to add optional information or edit the information you provided. It is important to complete every step as the service will not work until you have added and confirmed a phone number.
