There are two ways that you can view your Emergency Address settings:

Emergency Address Configuration

If you use the desktop app at a different site or remotely from home, it is essential to update the address it uses for your Emergency Caller ID. Multiple addresses can be saved so that you can switch addresses when you use the app at different locations.

It is recommended to update or switch your emergency address when you…

  • First install and open the app.
  • Move locations/sites.
  • Start working remotely from home.

Quick Tip: This Emergency Address and your Emergency Caller ID phone number are shown to dispatchers when you call 9-1-1 for any emergencies.

DANGER: Not adding in your apps' current address can result in issues and delays in getting emergency responders to your location! 

Avoid this risk by keeping your emergency address information up-to-date.

  2. In the boxes that appear, fill in the following information:
