Abstract
A previously unregistered visitor enters the site. Contact information associated with the visitor, such as the visitor'"'"'s phone number(s), an email address of the visitor, emergency contacts of the visitor, and the like, are registered. Location information associated with the visitor, such as calendar information, duration of the visit, a check-in at the site, and the like are registered. The registered contact and location information are stored in an emergency database. An emergency, such as a 911 emergency (e.g., fire in the building) is detected. The visitor and/or another contact identified by the contact information are notified based on the location information. This allows entities to be able to provide the same emergency services for visitors as for regular employees.
