I’d love to talk more if you can. Email in my profile.

My plan is to do this as a nonprofit. Build great mapping tools and offer them for free to all worldwide emergency responders.

PSAPs have a role in this, of course, but I am also wondering how much smartphone emergency requests could be routed directly to responders. Think of the Coast Guard’s VHF 16 emergency channel. It doesn’t go to 911 — it goes straight to the Coast Guard.
