Register a location for emergencies
Designating locations as emergency locations allows first responders to have accurate information in the case of an emergency call. This feature is only available in the United States and Canada at this time.
Before you begin: You must have a phone number available for each location you want to use for emergency purposes. If you do not have enough phone numbers, you can
order more.
Notice: The emergency location registration process may take up to 5 business days.
What to do next: Assign users and devices to this location.
Assign devices to a location
If you do not assign a specific device to an emergency location, first responders only have access to the default emergency location information.
What to do next: Verify the emergency location information by calling 933. Ensure the information you hear matches the information you have entered. Note that if the device is moved in the future, you will need to update the emergency location and/or sub-location for the device.
Assign users to a location
Before you begin:
Attention: Important information regarding users who travel:
- We recommend users call 911 from their cellular phone whenever possible for the most accurate location.
- If the user dials 911 through the GoTo app from their cellular phone, the cellular network will override this emergency location and use the GPS coordinates instead.
- If the user dials 911 from their laptop through the GoTo app, this emergency location would be dispatched to emergency services.
If you do not assign a specific device or user to an emergency location, first responders only have access to the default emergency location information.
What to do next: Verify the emergency location information by calling 933. Ensure the information you hear matches the information you have entered. If the user's location changes, you will need to update the emergency location and/or sub-location for the user.
