The other emergency app is Mumbai Police- ICE

Description

Emergency situations can arise unannounced and with impunity. The Law Enforcement and Emergency Response Agencies are able to react and contain the losses only upon their arrival on the scene. However, when emergency strikes, if we are aware of emergency response procedures as first responders then we can not only minimize the impact but also build resilience around our communities.

Our endeavor through this App is to create public awareness about the preparations for the first response in case of identified emergency situations.

+ First of its kind multilingual app available in English, Hindi and Marathi
+ Send SOS distress message with just one touch
