An emergency text message application (205), operable to control a processor (201) in a portable electronic device (200) is provided. The emergency text message application (205) allows a user to send any of a manually input, partially completed, or preformed completed emergency text message to emergency services personnel. A location detection module (204) can be used to retrieve a location of the portable electronic device (200). The emergency text message application (205) can then insert the location into the emergency text message. As more accurate location determinations are made, the emergency text message application (205) can substitute the more accurate information into the emergency text message and retransmit. An alert disabler can automatically transform the portable electronic device (200) to a vibration mode or silent mode to prevent incoming communication from being audible to a nearby threat.
