Missoula County announced Thursday that they have become the first in the state to implement the national safety database, Smart911, in order to improve 9-1-1 services for citizens.  I spoke with Missoula County Director of Emergency Services Chris Lansbury on Thursday afternoon. That interview is attached.

Lounsbury says this safety profile provides much richer information than is currently available on incoming calls and can contain the specific details that first responders need in order to save lives.  Register at smart911 dot com.
