This month we\\u2019re happy to welcome Jim Kovalsky of www.eFirstAlert.com \\xa0

\\xa0When an emergency strikes, there\\u2019s nothing more comforting than having the support of your friends and family.

\\xa0eFirstAlert\\u2019s single address notifications can automatically notify anyone you want if there is an emergency at a specific address.\\xa0 Once you register an address with their service, they monitor every fire rescue dispatch, and if emergency responders are sent they'll alert you before the responders even arrive at the door.

00:30 \\u2013 Jim explains what eFirstAlert is and what events you\\u2019ll be alerted to (within a 2-mile radius) of what type of first responders are being dispatched.\\xa0

05:36 \\u2013 Jim tells us eFirstAlert was a passion project that came from his knowledge of computer science and his work as a volunteer firefighter\\xa0

07:52 \\u2013 You no longer need to call the fire department or turn to Facebook to figure out what\\u2019s going on around you. Your alert will be sent directly to your inbox.\\xa0

09:30 \\u2013 There is a business-tier version of eFirstAlert that many news reporting outlets utilize.\\xa0

10:43 - Jim Kovalsky is also the guy behind Honestware tech support.

11:08 \\u2013 When using eFirstAlert, be aware that the address associated with the event may not be where the actual issue is. And just because units have been dispatched doesn\\u2019t mean there is an actual issue \\u2013 could be a false alarm.

12:57 \\u2013 PLEASE, make sure your written address is visible \\u2013 especially at night! Those with reflective numbers will save crucial seconds when it really counts.

15:03 \\u2013 If you have an emergency in your home, now your neighbors can be alerted (and may be able to help). This is all public information, no one\\u2019s privacy is being compromised.\\xa0

17:07 \\u2013 Sign up now \\u2013 this is a FREE service because its supported by local business sponsorship. And new features are in the works.
