Announcement posted by Emergency App 24 Sep 2014

Holiday in Peace with This Handy Panic Button in Your Pocket

Queensland, Australia – Emergency App Pty Ltd is pleased to announce that Emergency App is now available for download from both the Google Play Store and the Appstore. As safe as it is to live in Australia in comparison to so many other countries it is still an unavoidable fact that there are times when no matter how prepared you are, you are confronted with a situation where you are in dire need of assistance. Whether it is because your vehicle has broken down and left you stranded somewhere in the Outback, your hot water tank has burst in the middle of the night or a loved one has been badly hurt in some form of accident, there is nothing worse than not being able to get help when you most need it.

 

To every parent the safety of their child is paramount and with this App, every parent can have a little peace of mind that should their child be hurt in any way or need any sort of assistance the built in geo-locator will allow police and other emergency services to locate the user with co-ordinates and an address when they trigger their ‘Panic Button.’ It also alerts a list of pre-programmed contacts, which can include several friends and family that the user is in distress and sends the same location details to every one of those contacts. No matter where your child is, their phone is with them and by loading this App on their phone, parents know that their child will never be without help when they need it.

 

 'Our goal is to make all Australians a little safer, through the use of today's technology. Being able to give your exact location can mean the difference between life and death,' say Neil Coningham and Leonie Vallance, Co-Founders of Emergency App. The App also features an Emergency Business Directory which lists every 24 hour business near the users location in case of a non life-threatening emergency as well as Weather and Traffic Alerts across Australia with support for other countries under development.

 

About Emergency App

The Emergency App has been developed by a small software firm out of Queensland, Australia. It was initially developed to alleviate some of the pressure on the 000 Emergency system and has slowly evolved into a one-stop emergency app where you can reach a range of emergency services from SES, Crimestoppers, Poison Hotline & Health Direct to an emergency business such as plumber, electricians, roof repairers, mechanics, vets and pharmacists all at the touch of a button.
