Sad Notification
February 9th, 2010The news today told a story of twin sisters who received some sad news today.
It was their birthday. When they awoke, they logged into Facebook expecting to see many birthday wishes on their wall. Instead they saw postings that had RIP to their brother and a friend of his. After calling their brother and getting no response, they called their mother. She knew nothing of this either. At that point, the police were called and the story was confirmed. The brother and his friend had died in a car accident the night before.
Our EverybodySafe.com emergency notification service is to let people know when an emergency happens and to alert many people at the same time. While most of us would quickly say that we would rather receive a personal phone call in the event of a death, we at EverybodySafe.com feel that receiving an automated phone call that there is an emergency is better than, as in this case, finding out on Facebook. Worse yet would be not knowing anything at all for a few days.
We’ve heard the sad stories from hospitals, police and coroners that it can take on average three days to locate relatives for someone who can not speak for themselves. This is why we created EverybodySafe.com. Check out our site and let us know your thoughts on emergency notification.
