119신고: An App for Quick Emergency Reporting

119신고 is an app developed by 소방청 that allows users to send emergency reports to the local fire department with minimal effort. The reports are sent via MMS or SMS, ensuring that the information reaches the appropriate authorities promptly.

When using the 119신고 app, the user’s GPS status is checked, and if necessary, the app automatically switches to the GPS activation settings page. This allows the user to send the emergency report message immediately after enabling GPS and agreeing to the use of location information. The report message includes the location information obtained through GPS or cell tower triangulation, enabling a faster response to the user’s exact location and minimizing potential damage to life and property.

The app provides the following services:

1. GPS status verification

2. Quick and easy emergency reporting

3. Acquisition of location information based on GPS and network

4. Provision of emergency evacuation and first aid guidelines

Please note that the availability of streaming video services and emergency reporting functionality may be affected by the user’s mobile network connection. GPS-based location information may not be available indoors. Additionally, there may be compatibility issues with different mobile carriers and smartphone models. The app is not compatible with WiFi-only devices. In the event of accidental or erroneous report submissions, it is important for users to promptly respond to confirmation calls and provide accurate situation descriptions to the fire department.
