AccesSOS is a non-profit technology organization that makes emergency help accessible for all. AccesSOS is a URL link that allows users to text 911 as opposed to calling the number. Users who are deaf or hard of hearing, have limited language proficiency, or are experiencing domestic violence face barriers when calling 911. As an emergency response system hosted on a URL, AccesSOS aims to provide these individuals with a safe alternative. As a user, you visit contact911.org on your phone, provide all neccessary information, and AccesSOS sends this information to dispatch to send help.
