Rescu Emergency Alert App FAQ's

There are a couple of reasons Rescu can be faster than calling 9-1-1. First, Rescu uses a UL-certified, 5-Diamond rated Emergency Monitoring Center that communicates directly with the emergency services that have jurisdiction in your specific address location. This bypasses the step of the 9-1-1 operator and quickly gets your information to the services you need. Second, your information is stored in Rescu such as phone number, address, name. In cases where speaking is not possible, impractical, or dangerous, Rescu immediately dispatches the appropriate emergency services to your address.

When you select the dispatch type and press the “SEND ALERT” button, that dispatch signal is sent directly to our Emergency Monitoring Center – the same UL certified, 5-Diamond rated Emergency Monitoring Center that provides service to thousands of commercial and residential alarm systems. Your dispatch signal is immediately processed and the appropriate emergency services (Ambulance, Fire or Police) are sent to your GPS Location or Address you set up in your Rescu mobile app.

It is common for emergency services to respond with ambulance and fire trucks. However, you can easily dispatch fire services and then dispatch ambulance within Rescu. Our Emergency Monitoring Center will receive and process both dispatch requests.

Rescu offers ambulance, fire and police dispatch based on GPS location, anywhere in the United States for $10 per month or $99 per year, giving an affordable way to have the fastest response in the case of an emergency. Compare our pricing to the cost of Life Alert.

You can cancel your emergency dispatch by either speaking with a Live Operator or pressing the “cancel dispatch” selection in the Rescu app.
