The communication for GPS location between the mobile app and the Emergency Command Center is as follows:
1. Location Services uses a combination of cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS to determine a user's location. The location of a user that is sent to the Emergency Command Center relies on the Location Settings being enabled on their mobile phone. A user must enable the mobile’s Location Settings in the RapidAssist app after they install the app and are setting up their account.
2. The user's location is sent from the mobile app to the Emergency Command Center approximately every 5 seconds during an emergency.
3. For Area and Zone type emergencies, RapidAssist does not detect user moving into an area or zone. However, if a user is inside an area or zone and moves outside the zone during the emergency, RapidAssist will plot the user's position on the Emergency Command Center map.
RapidAssist efficiently improves incident response by obtaining the accurate location of users in seconds which allows an fast and effective response to users in need of help.
