RapidDeploy’s Post

🚨 Save Story Spotlight: A Cross-County Collaboration Helps an Injured Child This story starts with a misrouted cell phone call and a report that a child had fallen into a pool. Thanks to RapidDeploy’s technology, the call ends with a successful response for a child with a head injury two counties away, demonstrating the critical importance of NG911 technology that aids in seamless collaboration in emergency response. Santa Rosa County Florida, received a 911 call reporting that a child had fallen into a pool when the connection was abruptly lost. After two callbacks from 911 and without successful contact with the caller, the Santa Rosa County telecommunicator used the RapidDeploy #RadiusMap to identify that the call originated outside of the agency jurisdiction at a location nearly 100 miles away in Bay County, FL. RapidDeploy helped the emergency response teams in Santa Rosa and Bay County flawlessly coordinate a response by pinpointing the caller’s exact location. Upon arrival, the emergency response teams discovered that a child had fallen beside the pool and struck their head. This real-life story ended successfully because the telecommunicator was able to leverage RapidDeploy’s #NG911 technology to quickly pinpoint the caller and coordinate a multi-agency response.

Continuing our #ShareYourPurpose campaign this #NationalPublicSafetyTelecommunicatorsWeek, we’re sharing the inspiring story of another first responder. This post comes from Candice Crawley from the Powhatan County Public Safety Communications, VA “I became a telecommunicator because I love to help people in any way, big or small, even if I do not get recognition for it. The feeling that I get, knowing that I asked the right questions to identify a suspect or stayed on the line comforting a distressed caller until medics arrived, that feeling is unmatched. I will continue to do this job so that I can be that calming, helpful voice to the caller on the other end of that call.” Share your own story with the hashtag #ShareYourPurpose and tag us @RapidSOS!
