A novel system and method for enhancing people's personal safety and incident reporting is presented, wherein mobile devices are used to report and/or record both "911" type situations and non-emergency situations. Users of the invention can record, transmit, stream, upload and/or send information from a threatening situation to a dispatcher at an emergency management office or facility and to the user's safety group. The dispatcher can assess the situation and, if the situation warrants action, then the information can be forwarded to the appropriate first responders. The system geo-locates the user and allows integration of camera feeds in the user's vicinity. The inventive system and method enables a user to contact a dispatcher and also to alert the user's safety group. Four pieces of software facilitate video, audio, images and/or text medium of communication between the user-in-distress and the dispatcher, first responders and the user's safety group. |
