As some of you may have noticed, we are continually improving the Share With 911 Emergency Communication Network at SW911.com. This post summarizes some of our recent updates.

Broadcast Alerts

Not all users have the ability to create Broadcasts. If you do, you will see the Broadcast Center in your menu and navigation. Broadcasting an Alert or Incident Update/Advisory will now generate Email and SMS messages to your users and local law enforcement.

In order for you to receive SMS text alerts, you MUST update your profile with your mobile carrier.

Incident Updates / Advisory

We have updated the name of this feature to enable authorized users to send an advisory to users outside of a incident. For instance, if you have a missing student, you can use the Advisory message feature to send information to your users instantly via text and email.

Update Your Profile

All users can update their profile information such as their name, email address, and emergency contact information.  To do so, log in to sw911.com, click your name in the top navigation bar and select, "Update my Profile".

In order for you to receive SMS text alerts, you MUST update your profile with your mobile carrier.

Change Your Password

You can now change your password.  Once logged in to sw911.com, click your name in the top navigation bar and select, "Change Password".

Set Your Favorite Locations

You can now save a list of your "favorite" locations, which will appear at the top of the locations list when you are checking in. These should be locations that you spend the most time at or are likely to be near during the work day.

To select "favorite" locations, log in to sw911.com, click your name in the top navigation bar and select, "Update my Profile".
