Nov 24 Startup Weekend - 912 Alerts Mobile App for emergency response

At my first Startup Weekend event, I designed an emergency response app and worked with my team of developers to demo our prototype. It allowed any user to report their GPS location and alert family members at the touch of a button.

I decided to call it 912 Alerts. Because it's 1 step ahead of 911 given that we provide 2 critical pieces of information requested whenever someone reports an emergency.
