Abstract
Systems and methods of transmitting a message and/or a location request to individuals identified on an emergency contact list. In some arrangements, a message and/or location request may be transmitted from a first mobile device to a plurality of other mobile devices associated with individuals identified in the emergency contact list. The location of each mobile device is determined and transmitted to the first mobile device where the location information is stored and may be displayed, for instance, on a map. The systems and methods described herein may be independent of any technical infrastructure associated with the organization or business maintaining the emergency contact list. That is, a company may generally rely on systems independent of their own, such as public cellular networks, and the like, for operation of the systems and methods described herein.
