Government & Education Emergency and Services App for Android

There is an Android APP available for free. It is supposed to get you in contact with Emergency Services like the Dumaguete PNP, Rescue One, Fire Department NorecoII etc.
According to the description if you have an internet connection it can transmit your location.
I'm not in Dumaguete so I didn't download the APP but it sure sounds interesting.

Dumaguete Emergency Free Android App is a medical, fire, disaster, police, and public utility emergency android application for Dumaguete City.

It provides landline and mobile numbers of One Rescue EMS, SUMCFI Emergency Medical Services, Dumaguete PNP, Dumaguete Fire Department, NORECO II Customer Welfare Desk, and Dumaguete City CDRRMO.

This application includes the official Facebook page of these emergency departments.

It also has a messaging, picture, and location sending functions for more convenient use – however, these application features require an internet connection for successful transactions.

But in cases when you cannot access the internet for some reason, you can still use the app by clicking the numbers you need to contact.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

This application is a must-have in case of emergency and will help you feel safe wherever you go.

Just a few clicks and voila!

Everything you need is flashed on your screens.

Just downloaded it but keeps crashing when I try and open it. Maybe it's because the phone is from the UK!

 

Or the app is from the Philippines!

 

I have a UK phone and have downloaded it and opened no problem.

 

Got mine all loaded on my Vivo. Checked to see if it worked with Data vs WiFi, it does, so if no WiFi signal, if you have Data, use that.

 

Which Android is your Phone? Mine is Android 7.

 

Ah, I dunno what Android version it is, but it's a fairly elderly Samsung A3 that my employer agreed for me to keep when I left as it was worthless to them.

 

Further thought though, I had some issues with downloading certain apps as my phone thought it was still in the UK, despite location being on (Shopee for one would not allow me to download). I had to do something to change the location in settings, can't recall exactly what it was as it was a bit technical (for me), but I found the answer on a Google search.

 

the Dumaguete Emergency Assistance app looks wonderful for duma residents. what about 911 for outsiders, has anyone tried that?

They do have a 911 system in certain places, the main emergency assistance is 117.
