Additionally, the commercial property customers interface includes two new features. Now, account administrators may add points of contact to be notified when a fire or medical incident is reported at their facility, and when units are dispatched. Property managers for high-rise facilities also may be informed that units are on the way, so they can ensure doors are unlocked and elevators are at ground level for the emergency responders.

Community Connect is a secure database for city residents and businesses to create and maintain online life safety profiles. YOU decide what information to include in your profile, which are made available to first responders at the time of dispatch. All information is secure and accessible only to first responders.
