DistantEmergency is a must for anyone who communicates with friends, family or colleagues in distant locations, especially by video. If you witness someone having a sudden emergency with no one on scene able to call for help, you could be their only hope…from hundreds of miles away.  DistantEmergency lets you find, save and, if ever necessary, call the 911/emergency dispatch agency for U.S. locations. There is no faster way to send emergency services to a distant location.
