emergency-number

Emergency Number is an app that makes it easier to communicate with emergency services.

The Idea

The project originated from the contest to create application that will help deaf-mute people to contact emergency services. We wanted to take it from there and extend the functionality to aid everyone in need of urgent help.

Features

The main goal is to make asking for help accessible and intuitive for everyone, even someone with disability or uncertain of current location. We are trying to achieve that with the following...

Pictograms

Choose what happened from a tree-based category list, displayed as pictograms + text for accessibility.

Location updates

Let the app determine where you are or put in the address yourself.

Give additional information

You can continue conversation with the operator to answer question or follow instructions.

First Aid and history

There is also a web page with first aid instructions and a history of reports.

Contributions

Any help in development and testing Emergency Number is greatly appreciated! If you've found a problem or would like to suggest a change, implement a feature, add a localization, fix a bug - feel free to submit an Issue or create a Pull Request, thank you!

Release

We are currently preparing for our first release, version 1.0! You can follow the progress here.

The app is developed only for Android platform at the moment.
