Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is and Location Based Services (LBS) are used to determine the exact location of a user and communicate information relating to the emergency status of that location. The user initiates the locator application via a wireless device and their physical location information is automatically transferred to a server.

Once the server has calculated the current emergency status, the information is automatically returned to the user, along with emergency instructions.
